The Varsity
The only experience I've had of the Varsity was an AEF with the air cadets on our annual summer camp at RAF Linton on Ouse in 1971.I think the best bit was lying prone in the ventral pod pretending to be a Lancaster bomb aimer on a raid.A little worrying as I was 28 at the time(only joking) Sadly,my thoughts on seeing the name "Varsity"also bring to mind the fact that our CO,Ralph Reid Buckle was killed co-piloting one back in 1984,also on board an ex cadet Neil Kingsville.I think there were about a dozen people on board,most died in the crash but if I remember right there were a couple of survivors.Anybody out there know the facts?
