I was on detachment at Gaydon in 1966 when I had my first experience with the Varsity.

I was invited to go along on a navex with 2ANS, of course I jumped at the chance!

The thing that really sticks in my mind was that the flight seemed to last forever, I felt as though I saw the whole of the UK from the bomb bay! But I loved it!

Just how long did those flights last?

Had a few more trips after that and enjoyed every one.

The crews were always a great bunch of guys and seemed to love flying the Varsity,

Thanks guys for making me feel part of the RAF even though I was only a medic.
