Two years, 64 to 66. Scores of aircraft to fly, at the start of the day anyway! 3 students, no secondary duties, great mess life with a very good jazz band. Dave Willis (Clarinet) the late Bob Patchett (cornet) ?? Wooding (saxophone) and met man ?? Yeomans drums. One year I got 440 hours in 50 minute trips! Some of my most enjoyable years in the RAF, matched only by 2 years on MASUAS at Woodvale.
Douggie Mee was the Pilot Nav instructor and lived in Rhosneigr and had a string of lobster pots there. It was rumoured that his ground lecture schedule was based round the local tide tables so that he could lecture and fish on the same day.
