Another "II" stude, although with mixed memories. I did 5 trips from Redhill for IR training in February 1978, with two of them DNCO due to snow , all with Mr McLaughlin

I had mixed fortunes riding my motorbike in the snow to and from Redhill, and finished up with a broken femur after an altercation with a van that pulled out in front of me whilst riding down for trip number 6

It wasn't until November that I caught up with II again for a better session of flights from North Deans with (?) Wood as instructor. I recall after all those hours feeling a bit cheated that it didn't allow a 206 endorsement in the licence!
