I guess you must have been there when wild Bill was instructing??
Cant remember many of the names other than close mates.
Remember pommy D/I.Nice bloke, but cant remember his name.
I think there was a Flt.Kidd??
Are you talking about Flight Sgt Bill Monaghan? Cranky type sometimes If so, he finished up as a Group Captain. F/L Bob Kidd was the navigation instructor and later killed in the Neptune fatal crash at Richmond. Really nice bloke.

The W/O drill instructor may have been "Dutchy" Holland. Big handlebar moustache and decorated in WW2 for bravery as a soldier in the battle against German forces at Arnhem in 1944.
