Ahhh ... I probably told him what to do a few times, then!
Strubby ATC, 65-67.
I do remember the Strubby Nav staff saying the "VC-5" didn't have enough legs to get the Staff N/Spec N students properly lost, but it was undoubtedly more comfortable than the Canberra B2s they replaced.
God, I'm getting old ... we used to get a sgt pilot fly up from Chivenor every weekend in a Meteor to see his lady-friend. Amazingly, I can still remember his name and his c/s [63]. Now where did I put the car keys?
