Hello John, I think you may find this of general interest.

Many moons ago I taught Alan Hindle to do aerobatics in his own Tiger Moth as well as on the club’s ZS-DLK.

Alan and I go way back and were long time colleagues and pals; we shared many an adventure & good laughs

In return he painted me this wonderful picture of my first Tiger ZS-BXA. It is six by four foot, oil on canvas, and one of my most prised possessions.

Alan said it was a difficult subject as it was overall silver; it is truly a beautiful work of art. Best regards and all of the best in 2012.

Cheers, Bill Teague, 30 December 2011
