My instructors back then included the wonderful Charlie Rollo (flew Wildebeasts in the Sudan the '30s) and the amazing Tom Dougdale (WW2 and V Bomber pilot). As well as many other talented aviators. You can't find that today! So much experience and talent, not like the airline wannabes with a handful of hours you might get today.
But, even today, there's Martin Rushbroke at Barton. No wannabe he. A true master of the air!
