102 FW Course, 1961, one of the earlier courses to start their training at BRNC instead of Manadon. Grading was at Roborough too.
50 years this year - and celebrated first flight in an RN Tiger in July. First solo was also commemorated with half an hour's (gentle) solo aeros in the same borrowed Tiger this September.
Unfortunately the original Tiger (BB694) is now in Holland; that would have been the icing on the cake.
Still, never mind. Am I lucky or what ?
Anybody else around from the days of Lt.Mills. RN (NTO) and Bill Lucas ?
