Sorry for more "duff gen" but the pic above should be entitled Checking wind. Below is a pic of the airfield circuit.


Another pic to show I didn't spend all the war in training. Cliffnemo on right, but photo for some reason is a mirror view. We should all be on the Port side. Note flying boots, brown suede sheepies had been withdrawn, and black escape boots issued. These had a knife inside for cutting off the tops , leaving just black boots. The original brown suede boots soon pushed out the back of the boot and became awkward to walk in. Will continue with our training antics next to include spins and stalling training.
MNEMONIC Port is red, but never left on the table. We always used port and starboard then . Wonder if it is now left and right.?
