Frank Spencer was my first instructor too. He and Hector Taylor - great guys.
I remember doing an exercise to the south of EGNX one afternoon with Frank - stalls I think - it had become quite turbulent on the return trip. As a newbie I was quite tired so Frank took over for the landing. It was a snorting cross-wind along with the turbulence. Frank approaches RW09 almost at right angles to allow for the x-wind. I'm waiting for him to hang a sharp right just before touchdown but, no, Frank lands it in the WIDTH of the runway! Who cares about the cross wind - much easier to land into wind!
Great days and great guys...
