I did an Air Training Corps Gliding course at RAF Newton in about Feb 1959. The weather was `5 Seasons in a day` so at the end of the week everyone had been brought up to `solo` standard but the Staff decided,and the weather, that no-one would solo,to be fair all-round.
Lost my ATC log-book over the years,so I`ve no idea who the instructors were/a/c tail no. etc.
Nine years later did 2 trips in a `Barge` WB920 at Upavon,a 10 min solo in an Olympia,VV400,then 1hr 20 soaring in the same cab.also flew Sky XA876,but forgot to log the time.. Sum total of my gliding to date..
Anyone around who went/did Newton in those far-off days ?
