I haven't looked at the Military forum for ages- so was great to see the Chipmunk Manston thread and lo and behold a picture of me! (Hiding in the background 8th from left). The Boss certainly was a character to work for- one of his stories had to do with getting lost in cloud in a Meteor over London in the 50s. Only way out was to drop to low level and follow the Thames at 150'! Must have been fun! I seem to recall that 1 AEF was dined out at a Station Dining In Night, and there was a less formal P@#s up on the last Sunday of flying in the caf at the museum. I can still remember the sore head the next day. Have got WP855 in my log book from the 31st - 2xCadets, GH and Aeros. Happy Days indeed.
