time warp in Tiger By Andrew Stackpool Volume 49, No. 5, April 05, 2007 |

Dux of No. 206 pilot’s course at RAAF Base Pearce, FLGOFF Sean Hamilton, and course-mates FLGOFFs Marija Jovanovich and Ben Atherton were invited to fly in the historic aircraft by 7WG AAFC liaison officer SQNLDR Paul Falconer-West. SQNLDR Falconer-West is a Tiger Moth-rated pilot. The aircraft was the former RAAF A17-37, now operated by the Royal Aero Club of WA . “FLGOFF Hamilton won the De Havilland Australia Trophy and, as the Moth is a De Havilland aircraft, after the graduation parade I invited him to fly one,” SQNLDR Falconer-West said. FLGOFFs Jovanovich and Atherton flew on December 10, 2006, but summer winds in Perth prevented FLGOFF Hamilton from flying until January 21. “They were delighted with their flights and amazed at how slowly the world went past,” SQNLDR Falconer-West said. |
