I have told of my days in N0.6 ITU Aber.in much earlier threads (They strted around page 13 onwards ). I was there from Jan. 1941 until May 1941 although the course only lasted six weeks . the trouble was that the bad winter had caused the flying schools to be virtually closed down and we were just sent on many weeks leave or we reported for roll call early and then were free for the rest of the day.. If you look at some of the pictures of Aberystwith that Andy posted for me , you will see me and the rest of B Flight. The coincidence there is that the Flight Sergeant pictured was also the same as the one that was in charge of Cliff Nemo, later on , I think.. The Corporal was not the same one as you mention. I think that his name was on the picture as we were presenting him with a small memento of his good work for us all. All the best , Reg. P.S. Aberystwyth is mentioned in Thread 270 but Photo Bucket have removed the pictures . I can think of a phrase that rhymes with Bucket.
