First trip in a Cadet Mk3 Dec 62 at a very snowy Swanton Morley on a course with Jeff Naylor, Dougie King and Co. Weather meant that I had to complete the course at Hendon (617 GS). First solo 9 Jun 63. Therafter, a happy 3 years as a staff cadet and CI at Hendon and Bovingdon before joining the RAF in 1966 for a 39 year career.
I'm sure the ATC (which also provided me with a Flying Scholarship to PPL standard and an International Exchange to Canada), shaped my life!
