URGENT MESSAGE FOR UK AIRSPACE USERS

03/12/2021

End of a Chapter - Closure of TG Aviation at Lydd Airport

It is with great sadness that Sue, Mark, Natasha, Sophie and Joyce inform you that last Thursday we were put in an unacceptable position in regard to our occupation of the Battle of Britain Room and two briefing rooms at Lydd. In order to safeguard TG Aviation, our instructors and customers we therefore ceased operations at Lydd Airport as of Wednesday when the current licence to occupy the rooms ended.

ALL ACCOUNTS WILL BE REFUNDED AND VALID VOUCHERS WILL BE HONOURED AND FLOWN BY LYDD AERO CLUB ON BEHALF OF TG AVIATION.

We have approached Lydd Aero Club and they are happy to take on any students or PPLs that wish to continue flying at Lydd. Our instructors will continue flying with the Aero Club and until our aircraft are sold the Aero Club will lease them in while they assess whether they need to increase their fleet. Please give them a call and tell them you were one of our customers and they will look after you.

Lydd Aero Club Website is: https://www.lyddaero.co.uk/

Telephone Number: 01797 320734

The TG Aviation Online Ground School will remain in place and available to current and new users.

As you know we are passionate about aviation and this is heart-breaking for us. We will now take time to consider where we go from here and whether we will continue with the Stearman operation out of Pent Farm. We will provide updates.

The mobile number will remain in place - 07511 526529 – and we will do everything we can to help with providing a smooth transition. We are also here if you need any help or advice going forward. If you are able to wait until Monday for refunds I would be grateful as the last number of days have taken their toll but if not that is not a problem.

We would like to extend our thanks to Mark Maxted of Lanmax Plant Transport Limited for his support and for helping us move out at such short notice. We would also like to thank Riveroak Strategic Partners (RSP) at Manston for providing storage while we sort everything out. Whilst they are not in a position to have us back operating at Manston at this time their support in other ways has been much appreciated.

Please do keep in touch, you have been our aviation family for many years both at Manston and at Lydd. We have been so proud of all that our students have achieved over the years and wish you all the very best for the future.

We would now like to take this opportunity to wish you a Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year.

There is a running trend in the Girdler family for marking each other’s landings out of 10. Here’s the smallest of the Girdler family giving his verdict.

So on that note …

We would really love to hear what you think of TG ….

We would like to share the story of Dan, who some of you will know from Air Traffic at Lydd. He has recently competed a 39km charity exercise after recovering from a life threatening illness. Please if you can donate the link is below along with Dan’s story. Thank you.

“On August 7th 2020 he was taken to Medway Maritime Hospital with stomach pains. Although he didn't know it at the time, that he had severe Acute Necrotising Pancreatitis, and ended up spending 170 days in hospital, 78 of which were in intensive care, before he’d get to go home again”.

Let’s rewind to Saturday when the weather wasn’t as angry. Another epic photo from in our Stearman.
