Here is a picture taken at Thorney Island on 10 July 1964 (thank you, logbook!) of Whirlwind 10 XP351 of No. 22 Sqn carrying out an initial dry winching exercise with some University of London Air Squadron cadets:
Any ex-22 Sqn people out there with that date and sortie in their log-books? If so, PM me and I can send you the picture with higher definition.
Some sorties in one's flying life are indelibly printed in the memory; this was one, largely because of the surprise dose of static electricity we received on catching hold of the strop in our bare feet...
Some of the old buildings at RAF Thorney Island can be seen, as well as a parked Hastings of 242 OCU.
