From your description you must have trained on a Sunday 30 hours seems a long time to solo considering 635 had the best instructors?
Peter Leggett (Flt Lt) is still doing well as is Bryan Trunkfield (Bryan correctly spelt). 635 VGS (The S now stands for Squadron) is still in existance and operates now out of RAF Topcliffe.
The unit has had Four Commanding Officers
Flt Lt Bryan Trunkfield (Promoted to Sqn Ldr on Transfer to Bae Samlesbury).
Sqd Ldr Peter J McLachlan (Deputy OC at Burtonwood)
Sqd Ldr Jeff Woods (Staff Cadet at Burtonwood)
Sqd Ldr Will Taylor (Staff Cadet at Burtonwood) Current OC.
Total number of instructors and Staff Cadets since Start up approximatly 150.
Sedbergh (T21) XN 185 was at Burtonwood since it started and remained with the unit until it transferred to Samlesbury and converted to the Venture.
