Further to my earlier post:
We have a (late) friend who trained on the Percival Prentice, then Harvards and went on to fly Meteors.
His logbook shows that he was at 1 FTS, Moreton-in-Marsh from February 1954 to January 1955, where he flew Prentices and Harvards, then a week later he went to 211 FTS, Worksop, to fly the Meteor T7 and F8. After receiving his wings in August 1955 he was posted to 22 Sqn at Thorney Island, where he seems to have cadged a few flights in Whirlwinds, Chipmunks and Varsities before leaving the RAF in October at the end of his National Service.
