Ian Ladley
Hi Janet
My instructor at No 1 CGS Hawkinge was Jeff Naylor, but I was checked to fly solo by Ian Ladley. When you are young and impressionable, these are the sort of people one aspires to. I then decided that I wanted to do what they did and become a Gliding Instructor!
I became a staff cadet and worked my way up the Air Cadet gliding instructor ladder and I flew with Ian a number of times on recat checks.
I worked long and hard and became CFI of an Air Cadet Gliding School. Well worth the hard work!
They are not forgotten.
