Valetta

I did around 40 hours nav training in Valetta (pig) in 1952 at Bishops Court. Valetta were use to teach use of nav aids,(Gee Rebecca, Babs) before being allowed out on our own.
When the Car ferry Princess Victoria sank on the Stranraer- Larne route, station aircraft were used for search. Some station staff iuncluding at least one Pilot I flew with (Sgt Petrie) when down in it.
