Hi olddog - still going strong I see.
I followed exactly the same training regimen as olddog (only I was down the back for the heavy landing at Stradishall). Same holding at both Ouston and Northwood/HQCC but course after him at MOTU, flying virtually same number of hours throughout. Of note was the hold at Ouston/NUAS - I'd never flown Chipmunk, but as I had wings it was assumed I could fly, and went solo (1 hour circuits and aeros !!) after a 1 hour dual check. 3yrs 2 months to Squadron with 1 year holding, 520 hours.
