Some of the boys went on to Shoreham, I never found out what time they got back...................................
The longest trip we did was Hatfield,Panshangar,Bassingbourne,Oakington,Varsity's and 2 B29 Washingtons,,Duxford,and Waterbeach,we missed Cambridge.We never did a long trip like that again always Hitch Hiking..One lift came up Gold when we were taken into the Royal Aero Society's Garden Party at White Waltham and saw the Rotordyne fly..There was flight of Fairy Gannets awaiting delivery to the German Navy and they flew the Fulmar and Firefly.
