When the Valiants shuddered to a halt at the end of 1965 a Chipmunk were issued to each squadron for the co-pilots to keep their hand in. We Direct Entry pilots had never flown a Chipmunk before, Provost and Jet Provost trained, so the Squadron QFI had to convert us. With a bit of effort one could knock up twenty hours a month.

The Station Anson was available for the captains but the facility was never taken up.

A VForce captain wouldn't be seen dead flying an Anson.
