Any Chipmunk Aces from the original 20 studes who formed UWAS in 1963 around. As I recall, 6 each from Cardiff and Swansea and 4 each from Bangor and Aber.
Cardiff/Swansea boyoes did their stuff from St Athan, Bangor from Valley and Aber from Aberporth. Boss was Brian Gubbins who was great at scribbly stuff but not overfond of flying! Fortunately there were 2 great QFI's, Robert (Chips) Wood who made at least One Star and Brian Owens who sadly died in a Chippy accident at Moreton-on-the Marsh early 70's. Great years, fondly remembered
Ar Esgyll Dysg!
