Thanks Dave.

Spring 1968 at Spitlegate. First launch 5 min in a Barge learning how to fly. Then nineteen 3 min dual launches in a Mk 3 culminating in the A&B 3 solos.

Done over half a dozen weekends requiring 2 busses, 2 trains and half a mile hike up the hill from Grantham Station to Spitlegate after school on Friday.

Oh, and what an eye-opener the WRAF recruit depot on a Friday night was for a 16 year old schoolboy.
