Blake Reid's Tiger Moth Ground School at Lyncrest

 Blake Reid flew in from Ottawa to teach his Tiger Moth Ground School to about 16 participants.

 After a power point presentation covering the history and the key features of each part of the aircraft we did a tour of the Brandon Commonwealth Air Museum's Tiger Moth being restored in the RAA workshop.

 Donna and Grant Pronishen checking out the Tiger Moth.

Colette & Ken Pierce and Al Tring with the Museum Tiger Moth.

 Colette, Ken, and Blake checking out the antique English instrument panel.


Ken and Colette Pierce flew in from Beulah Manitoba on the Saskatchewan  border in their C185 - The Tiger Moth was quite a contrast!

Peter Moodie and the Instrument panel - including an original compass in the centre of the panel.
