Yes, I was only 13 and managed 60 launches in T-21 WB923/WG498 around 1966/8. The flight had an Oly 2b,2 Tutors XE760/VM648 and a Grunau 3. My father did aero-tows with a Chipmunk at weekends with Sqdn/Ldr Doc Smith. Boss was Group Captain Max Bacon . My ATC F3822 covered my flying and also Varsity flying there . Never managed a trip in the JP. Also had rides in the Tiger Moths and Austers with "Dicky" Dickinson a great all rounder. Remember lots of cadets Mike Drybanski,Chris Watson, Grant MacLeod,Martin Stoner,Al Bryan and Dick Coles. Happy days after flying at the Hare and Hounds ,Fulbeck.
