David Beaty's novel, 'The wind off the sea', covered pilot training at South Cerney and then night conversion at Bibury in some detail. Beaty had been a wartime RAF pilot and then flew with BOAC before becoming an author.
As an aside, one of the ATCOs on my watch at LATCC in the 70s ( Norman Whitelock RIP ), had spent most of WW2 as a QFI at the above stations.
