Varsity Line Shoots
Remember reading various commentaries and accounts of Varsarsity, wherein both studes and intructors scribbled everything form thier darkest thoughts to astute observation about how not to aviate. the 'book' was kept in an Oakington crew room approx early 80's and I always wondered what became of it. My own Varsarsity moment came at Manby sitting in the jump seat as a student Air Commodore wrestled a reluctant pig round the circuit. As we squealed to a shuddering halt on what should have been a roller the instructor ( Master Pilot) Smiled wanly and intoned 'Now I would like to see a normal circuit' I only just caught big sirs muttered response 'So would I cock so would I' Quite how I stiflled the giggles I'll never know. Twas only after our final landing did I realise that big sir had somehow defied gravity by flying the thing at less than the headlined stalling speed.
