Back in the '70s, Doves belonging to the Civil Aviation Flying Unit (CAFU) at Stansted were detached to Hurn Airport to provide live traning for trainee Air Traffic Controllers. We were split into groups of 3 per session, one would fly RHS (we all had PPLs) and the other two along with an ATC instructor would go to the control tower where, from our own control position, we would interleave with the Barons of the Hamble based College of Air Training, the ATCOs carrying out SRAs and other exercises.
