Derek Piggot

[Larry Krengel]

A blast from the past…

Some years back we hosted a visit from Derek Piggot – “Delta Papa”.  He was quite an amazing guy.  We really enjoyed talking with him.  He died just recently and I thought I would bring him back into the SSI consciousness.

Among his many credit he flew 184 different types of gliders.  Something to aspire to.

If you would like to read his autobiography, it is available on Abe Books, but it has a steep price tag –

And Happy Birthday to Larry Krengel today! He is not quite as old as Derek Piggot.

Best Regards,
