Extract

My Company is a small firm, situated near Colchester, Essex, operating only in the United Kingdom. It is entering its sixth year of operation, and owns seven aircraft, all Tiger Moths, five Agricultural and two Club aircraft of which, generally, only four are serviceable, the remainder being on maintenance or repair— of which more later.

Our experience is probably quite different from other operators’ as a season can vary enormously from area to area, and just a few weeks of working to capacity on something that occurs locally can make all the difference between a good year and a bad one. But although differing substantially in detail, the overall pattern is probably similar.
