Recently we lost a special member in our friend and buddy Des Piltz. The Committee wanted to remember Des in a way that befitted him, and at the suggestion of members David Balfour and Neil Sharp, the clubs Library of aviation books has been named the “Des Piltz Library”.

Many of the books that make up the Library were originally donated but Des and after his passing his personal library from his home has now also been added to the collection.

These books are available for members to borrow, but please return them after reading, and ensure that they stay in the excellent condition that they are now in. A register is available to sign out any books that you remove from the library.

The collection has been catalogued and arranged so if you remove a book to read or borrow, please return it to the same location after use and ensure the Library is kept neat and tidy.

With the help of all members, this magnificent collection of aviation material can be enjoyed by TCMAC members for many years to come, just as Des would have wished for.
