These may be "non-Kolb" but they're wonderful! Thanks for posting these pics to the list.

Hi Richard. Thanks for the great pics. i flew a Harvard out of Hood many
years ago. I was staying with a family called Baring at a sheep farm just
outside Masterton. They had arranged for me to fly a Tiger Moth but when we
arrived at Hood I saw the Harvard in the corner of the hangar. I had already
flown a Tiggy several times, indeed I did some of my original flying
lessons in one so I managed to do a swap and flew the Harvard instead. Not
sure what you called the Harvard in NZ. The Americans called it a T6. Thanks
again
Pat

Harvard is a Harvard in NZ Pat.Even the guys that went to Canada to do flight training in WW11 still called them Harvards. Those guys have all gone now

For several years we had an old gentleman at church who was a Canadian and then moved to the states and became an American citizen. When his daughter first introduced me to him, she mentioned that he had been a Canadian Air Force cadet.
I offered to take him flying in the MKIII, and when she brought him over to the house, he brought with him a picture of the Tiger Moth he and his brother had learned to fly in, both of them looked quite fine in their cadet uniforms.
We flew for a bit over an hour, it took him a little while to get comfortable with the controls, but then it seemed to pretty much come back to him. I had him fly it the rest of the flight, until we turned final at my place.
Good stuff.

<<We flew for a bit over an hour, it took him a little while to get

I once took a pilot for a flight in my Challenger. He was an Ex Red Arrows
pilot (That is as good as the Blue Angels. Maybe a bit better??) Of course
when I fly the speed wanders a bit and the altitude goes up and down. Not
when he flew it. It was as if the plane was on rails. A very chastening
experience.
I remember learning to fly in a Tiger Moth.The problem was that the nose
completely covered the landing area when you turned onto finals. As I had
just about sorted out flying in a straight line it was a bit disconcerting
to have to stick my head out the side of the cockpit to see where the
landing strip was because that completely changed the picture.
I soon learned that the fact that they couldn`t see over the nose of a
Spitfire was the reason for the long curved approaches we see Spitfire
pilots making in old films.
