I did my PPL at SFC in 1973. I used to catch the train from Newbury Park to Theydon Bois, then get a bus to a stop near the airfield. I met and chatted with actor Milo O’Shea on a few of those bus trips. If I did it again though, I’d ask for Milo’s autograph and wear a yellow Hi Viz for the walk along the road.
