Good evening to you all,
The information you have provided so far has been very helpful; however I have some more questions for you....
After a meeting with Lord Tebbit he gave me an overview of his flying career commencing in 1949; however there are some areas of his N.S RAF training that I need help on ie he was posted to Wittering for ground school and there he became an Officer Cadet and wore a blanco-ed belt and cap band. Can any one tell me more about Wittering and its training programme?
From Wittering he went to No 8 FTS @ South Cerney (which according JW411 was Basic Training Depot) where he flew the Percival Prentice aircraft. How long would that have taken?
Re Forum member INNOMINATE; would it be possible to obtain copies of your (late friends) Log Book as I'm unlikely to see Lord Tebbit before the end of the year and when I do I want to be in a stronger position information wise than what I am now......
