Oooh yes, its all coming back to me now, my first Chippie solo was at Roborough in the good company of AA around the end of Nov 78 (must look out the old logbook) the next type was the mighty Bulldog at Leeming in 1979 after which Service common sense prevailed (I was chopped!) and I now watch them doing the flying from the comfort of my 1960s office at the RAF's Alma Mater.
