I remember the Handling Squadron from my youthful days when I lived at Tidworth in the early fifties. I was in the the CCF and we had a Sqn Ldr from the Handling Squadron living next door, who used to take me to Boscombe Down during my school holidays. i was very lucky to fly in the latest V Bombers, Canberras, Javelins and several older Jets. A couple of years later I joined the RAF and five years later joined a Squadron in Aden commanded by the same Sqn Ldr.
