Many thanks TEEEJ ... I remember this very TV Programme fuelling my ambition to fly with the RAF. Not sure of exact dates now ... but I had a fantastic summer in either 73/74, just after O Level's, with ULAS when they held Summer Camp at RAF Manston ... and well remember Pat Plunkett along with Sandy Semple, John Prince and Phil Zarrager (hope I got Phil's surname right). As a very keen Air Cadet back then ... I pressed my uniform, polished my boots and hopped on the bus from Dover over to Manston ... did my best salute to their Boss and volunteered to make coffee, clean the pilot's crew room, run errands ... anything in fact to "earn" some Bulldog flying. I was richly rewarded ... as it happened, at the time, I believe the Bulldog Lycoming was prone to stopping during spinning ... so plenty of Air Test "sandbag" slots for me ! I still have my ULAS Badge which was presented to me by the CFI (Squadron Leader John Sewell I think) at the end of the camp ...
70's RAF the best
Best regards...
