First Solo's...when was yours and what in?

[NutherA2]

First solo 31st July 1954, CCF Flying Scholarship at Southend, Tiger Moth; clearest recollection ~ just like all the books say the vacant seat in front made for a much better view.
After the Provost/Vampire courses, another significant first solo was two years later in the Hunter F1 at Pembrey; no preceding dual (no T7 yet).Can't remember much of it, the aeroplane was a bit quick after the Vampire, but the flight was the best 20th birthday present I got by a long way.
