64 Squadron Duxford

Took my father to Duxford last week on his 80th birthday - transpires that he was stationed there 60 years ago [last 6 months of 1952] and it was his first operational squadron. Found the Chipmunk he first solo'd in - I think it was WD373.
Excellent day out and I found out a great many things about his flying life there and beyond - 151, 25 and 11 squadrons.
Came away feeling a bit overwhelmed about what he (and all his friends) used to do and very proud to have been let into his world if only for a very short time.
