I did my first solo and all my solo circuits at Luton in August of 1957 in a Tiger Moth. I had an RAF flying scholarship and my instructor was a charming gentleman called Ted Sessions. Grass runways then, Canberra and Provosts flying from Percival and EE factories and lots of charming office girls having their lunch and just waiting to chat to a pilot! Or not, as the case may be!
