My memories of Linton are all happy ones. Such a good atmosphere; having only one Officers’ Mess helped...staff and studes in the bar in flying suits in the bar until 1900...the honesty/chits barrel on the mess patio late afternoon in the summer. Comparing notes with Cranwell contemporaries it was chalk and cheese...and we had the cheese!
First (jet) Solo at Elvington. Hoping to fly in there later this year, once COVID GA restrictions lifted.
And did anybody ever unearth the cases of cockpit clocks rumoured buried on the airfield since Stirling days?!!
