army pilots course

i was ic barkston heath for a year when it was cranwells rlg. most of us at cranwell were v suprised when jefts was moved to barkston. people whove flown from there will back me up when i tell you how bad the cloud and vis can be in the winter. in fact i can remember when barkston has had no flying for over a week due to the weather. in 1944 2 para flew from barkston to arnhem, it was also where the polish paras flew from, as many people know they were delayed due to the weather.barkston is prone to poor weather from the south west, then it was industrial pollution from brum, now its just poor weather!
