At 613, as well as VX275, we had Sedberghs XN150 and WB971, and could also call on XN149 and WB970 from the RAF Halton Glider Flight (established to give gliding experience to the sprogs/brats).
WB971 was a strange anomoly as it had no facility to fit a 'bomb' (ballast weight) in the nose for solo flying but this did not deter 'Jacko' the CO; he must have weighed over 16 st and occasionally flew '971 solo. Was '971 a 'one off' or did other Sedberghs lack this facility?
Edited to add WG496 was there too!
