All correct. MG is still with us, living on the south coast. See him regularly.

When I did my cadetship, '73 - '76, OAT Kidlington was one of the flying schools that trained cadets up to PPL in just one month. The other schools were at White Waltham and Cambridge if I recall. Best month of the entire cadetship. I already had a PPL so got 40 hours of flying for free and best of all, they were paying me too !!!!
How things have changed.
