My ATC Gliding Course was with 613 VGS at RAF Halton between June and August 1961. A total of 8 flights in T21 and 19 dual and 3 solo in T31. Total Flight Time 2hrs 38mins.
Fortunately the weather was good, as 42 days later I was an Officer Cadet at South Cerney.
I also did another Gliding Course ( including soloing in the T31 ), at RAF Syerston in July 1977 when I was a CCF Liaison Officer at HQ air Cadets. This included a hop of about 200yds in a Primary glider.
First time to actually touch the controls was in Varsity WJ903 at RAF Hullavington on 17 August 1959. I last flew in WJ903 at RAF Finningley 10 October 1974 about 18 months before the Varsity was taken out of service.
