Did my ` solo -checkout` in Chipmunk G-APAC on 18/3/`61,by Elizabeth O at LFC.Must have stayed overnight in the `student`s `accommodation,then did nav.test in the Chippie next day with Don Mayne(LT-Chelm`d-St Tawney-Lt).Then `hitch-hiked back to Halton with just enough money to get a pie and a pint of Guinness in the pub.....
As PJG says ,a fun time pulling a/c to the pumps,refuelling,swinging props, no `gilet-jaunes`....
I thought v.ATCO was still in short pants then,making tea for Lew in the Tower..!!!
