I flew said JP 3A on Dec 8 , Dec 12 and Dec 17 in 1980 at Leeming on the CFS course. I've had a quick check but can't find that particular JP in my Logbook after these entries-I instructed at Linton On Ouse from 80-83 so I assume it either stayed at Leeming or went down to Cranwell. Having said that were the JPs at Cranwell not all Mk 5s??

The last T3 entry I have at Cranwell is 28 Oct 1974. So they left sometime soon after that.

584 was the very first Mk3 that I flew as a stude on Dec 10 1965, flew it on several trips throughout the course up to Feb 67. The a/c must haved stayed at Cranwell as it does not appear in my log book whilst doing the CFS course at Little Ris nor as a QFI at Linton.

At some point it went to Leeming; when I was on the CFS staff I didn't fly it whilst we were at Cranwell, it next appears on Oct 3rd 77 when CFS had moved up north. Having been the first Mk3 I flew, it was virtually the last 3A that I flew on 6 Dec 77, with only 3 trips after that before posting.
