Ref VP956; I flew in VP958 from Bovingdon on 13 Jul '65 whilst we were doing evening gliding. The SDO decided to do a couple of circuits for currency and invited the cadets along too.
Other notable flights I logged from Bovingdon that year: I flew the first ever glider launch from Bovingdon on 21 Jun '65 in Mk3 WT871, then on 19 Sep the CFI told me to "take '150 (Sedbergh XN150) solo and don't come back for 15 minutes" meaning he was telling me to get my soaring certificate (BGA 'C' certificate) which is what I did.
I don't think the crew of the passing Britannia/CL44 saw me when I inadvertantly climbed into controlled airspace.
