There also used to be a wonderful photo in the Bicester bar of a lass strapped onto a primary. Either the shoulder straps were doing wonders for her bust measurement or she had the most amazing bra.......
Yup I remember it - she was a true 60's child at the time & very nice on the eyes.
The Primary you mean was owned by "Happy Harry" Chapple & not flown that often, I think it may be the one at Keevil but stand to be corrected as usual
The RAFGSA owned Primary that I was reffering to was flown & sold (I recall) as stated, I was lucky enough to fly her off the winch a number of times, not so lucky though to see it being flipped upside down (complete with pilot) when the launch cable that I was attached to in the old Twin Astir had somehow got pulled around the outside of it & the "up slack" was swiftly stopped - pilot Ok (the second time he had crashed upside down ironically!) - Primary repaired.
