[QUOTE=Ken Scott;11539562]One boisterous evening in the mess bar a student nav sought to dampen the enthusiasm of the ME pilot cadre by calling out ‘tell us what happened at Valley?’ (Many of those on the Jetstream cse had completed the ‘ME lead-in cse’ on the Hawk…). Quick as a flash one of the pilots responded with ‘tell us what happened at Biggin Hill!’
Not sure if anyone was sober enough to add it to the line book though.[/
At one point those who didn’t succeed at Valley went no further as pilots .
Oberon in my case it was Barnwood or Barndoor as they were better known.
