I
taught at Shinfield, having had the benefit of the GIT course at ?Upwood? several years earlier [harangued by 'its not "
lecturing, you are given two ears and one mouth, that is a hint!'] , and a lot of time at at the whiteboard and OHP at Leeming, Topcliffe, Church Fenton and Finningley.
I later did three years at Shinfield and accepted the posting on a promise of a full tour in RAFG. That was honoured.
One of my best memories was End of Course thrashes at the Merry Maidens .............. the waitresses were topless on certain evenings by arrangement. That would be c. 1975.
