North American P-51 Mustang ‘Turning the screw’ – Flying Tigers Newsletter Edition No.393
When you ask such a leading question as ‘Which was the best fighter aircraft of WWII?’, you really do open an aviation can of worms. There are some compelling arguments for quite a number of aircraft types, which flew with air force and navy units and on both the Allied and Axis forces. You could […]

A sad farewell for the much loved TFC Hellcat – Flying Tigers Newsletter Edition No.391 (13/02/15)
As I put the finishing touches to last weeks Newsletter, I received some rather distressing news regarding one of the best loved Warbirds in the UK – In fact, it was so distressing that I had to do a little more research, before allowing myself to believe the rumours. Unfortunately, they turned out to be […]

Eagles of the Rising Sun – Flying Tigers Newsletter Edition No.390 (06/02/15)
As aviation enthusiasts, we have been forced to accept that the best days of our hobby are probably behind us. As austerity measures and a changing military climate have changed air forces probably forever, we have to accept that the days of aviation diversity and a multitude of exciting spotting venues is now a thing […]
Post War Luftwaffe Focke Wulf – Flying Tigers Newsletter Edition 389 (30/01/15)
The North West of England can boast a rich heritage in aviation design, testing and manufacture, which spans the entire history of manned flight. Unfortunately, much of this is now very much consigned to the history books and many of the factories and airfields from the past have long since disappeared. As a proud Lancastrian, […]
Phantastic Phantoms – Flying Tigers Newsletter Edition 388 (23/01/15)
There are some aircraft types that seem to possess something that little bit special, when it comes to popularity amongst aviation enthusiasts and die-cast aviation collectors alike. Spitfires, Mosquitos and Lancasters would certainly qualify in the propellor powered era, but when talking about jet aircraft, there is one aircraft that almost universally seems to rise […]
Westland Whirlwind XJ729 – Flying Tigers Newsletter Edition 387
There is nothing like a cold and windy winters evening to make you yearn for the delights of the summer Airshow season and I have to say that last year was something of a classic year.

The Great Messerschmitt Mystery – Flying Tigers Newsletter Edition 386 (09/01/15)
We have a rather intriguing title for our latest Newsletter. Over the years, I have been asked this question on literally hundreds of occasions and I thought it was about time that we looked at it in a little more detail – ‘Should it be Me, or Bf when talking about Messerschmitt fighters of WWII?’ […]
Rare Gladiator Pair – Flying Tigers Newsletter Edition 385 (02/01/15)
The undoubted highlight of the 2014 UK Airshow season was the visit of the Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum Avro Lancaster Mk.X to these shores, which really was as magnificent a spectacle, as it was unexpected. Fortunately, the UK is blessed to be at the forefront of the historic aviation movement, and home based enthusiasts have […]
Aggressor Units – Playing the Enemy – Flying Tigers Newsletter Edition 384 (20/12/14)
There can be few aircraft in the modern era of aviation, that are as enigmatic and interesting as the US Aggressor Squadron aircraft – a real case of a ‘Sheep in Wolf’s clothing’. Aircraft wearing dissimilar markings are a pleasant change from the traditionally bland designs of front line squadron aircraft and as a consequence, […]
