Spitalgate was the home of the WRAF recruit training depot and occasionally the Queen Bee would ask us to fly some of the girls on a Wednesday(sports) afternoon. We would offer a gentle float through the skies, a bit of instruction so that they could fly the glider, or aerobatics. Although the majority had never flown before, most asked asked for loops and chandelles.
On a non-aerobatic flight is Pam Hipperson, one of our drivers, here taking pictures from the rear seat of a T-31.
Another passenger was Colonel Jeanne M Holm, Director of Women in the USAF. (She was responsible for more people than the entire strength of the RAF at the time). She was given the 'luxury' of our canopied barge - and she opted for the instructional flight.[IMG]
