considering the RAF's SAR school was at Thorney Island during the '50s and '60s.
Hunh??? Only too well aware that my brain is getting addled, but I could have sworn that I did my training at Valley!! In fact, I know I did - bl%%dy freezing it was. Went back to Thorney later, on 22, with 'Punch-up' Panter et al and very nice it was too but the only training was our usual 'wets and drys' while we were on shift. Probably the best of the SAR flights although Chivenor devotees would disagree, no doubt!!
