The University of London Air Sqn had:
- A wg cdr boss (who kept his boys and girls out the dwang at Abingdon).
- 10 aircraft (the mighty SA Bulldog).
- An applicant-vetting policy run by the senior studes.
- Some of the best totty in the University (see above).
- The cheapest bar in London.
- The odd party on the underground platform at Town HQ.
- Pipe-smoking as a part of the sortie brief.
- Deck chairs and croquet outside the sqn during summer flying camps, like we had seen in the movies.
- Roof parties (including 'waving' at the occasional red Wessex).
- Insane ski trips (don't remember much of my 20th birthday in la Plagne).
- A very flexible beer account with Morlands brewery.
- The cheapest accomodation in the West End.
Happy days!
