Jan 2012 Jacqui Manley (UK)
Jacqui Manley is based at a private grass strip, Swanborough Farm Airfield, West Sussex, UK.
Jodel G-OABB
I fly as often as the weather is kind in a 2 seater Jodel, G-OABB Mascaret D150. I have held my PPL for 20 years, my first taildragger was a Jodel D112 , which we owned for 16 years, G-BPFD.
Tiger Moth G-BFHH
Most of my flying has taken place in these two aircraft, although I have had some lucky rides around Sussex and over to France as P1 in a Tiger Moth.
De Havilland DH-82A Tiger Moth II
I have done a little gliding too, but this was many years ago. I share the flying with my husband Ken. We tend to take turns flying to and from airfields and strips mostly in the south of the UK, changing seats so we both get to be P1.
Jodel D.150 Mascaret
We enjoy holidays in our Jodel, mostly to France as it is so close, just a 20 min hop across the channel.
Many thanks,
Jacqui
