Mine was in a Bristol Gliding Club T-21 at Lulsgate in 1950. The instructor was J M Hobkirk. Anyone remember him?
First powered flight: in a friend's Aeronca C-3, G-AEWU, from Farnborough to Lasham, 1951. Sadly the Aeronca was squashed a year or two later when a canvas-roofed hangar collapsed on it in a heavy snowfall.
