SPARE TIME.
I've lots of time thinking of my youth in the 1950s now that I'm stuck in a care home bed.I often went to Bovingdon both as a CCF cadet and a spotter.I flew in Ansons and also a Devon.I've a vague memory of being on standby to fly in a Meteor T7 if the weather cleared.I flew in an Anson right hand cockpit seat and can rememember priming the engines.I also flew in a couple of Chipmunks although not from Bovingdon.
From a spotting point of view there were always the C47s and occasional Packets.A Coastal Command Neptune was a visitor along with Shackletons,Coastal Command was based at Northwood.Unfortunately I do not have any pictures.
