Ahhhh ! The Varsity.My one and only flight in one was as an air cadet on summer camp at Linton upon Ouse 1971.As we flew over York,I got a great view of the minster from the "bomb bay."
Coincidently it was whilst flying as co-pilot in a Varsity,that our CO,W.cmdr Ralph Reid-Buckle lost his life along with several others when their a/c crashed whilst trying to limp back to East Midlands Airport with an engine problem.
