I learned there on/off from 1994-1998 whatever happened to Les Antrobus, Harry Anderson who used to hit me with his ruler, and Geoff er hum...Terry, Martin, the days of skipping over to Gamston to get fuel because of the politics (boy were those intense days) then start the flying lesson memories of coming on my two stroke cz125 at night for the nav lectures in winter - great
Harry Anderson is my Uncle & i flew with him a few times out of Netherthorpe. I also resurfaced the Pool table there once & my payment was a two hour instructional flight with Harry. He told me then i was a good pilot & should start learning but i didn't have the money then, Now i am an 85 hour, PPL having learnt last year at Sandtoft.
Harry emigrated to Canada over ten years ago now, & him & Mary used to do Volunteer work ferrying patients to hospital for appointments, Now ill health has stopped that.
Harry never carried on his flying when he left for Canada.
I always found Netherthorpe OK in them days but haven't been since Harry left.
