Wallah, go on, give me a clue?

Sorry if I messed up your leaving print - but at least you were given one...

It was a shame that so many keen young folk were binned off the SoFC courses back in the 1970s - but commiserating with them at Biggin did at least have some advantages....

Then there was the ridiculous navigator course at Finningley. There were so mant recourses that it was once proved that most baby navigators did something like 1.4 x the normal course. "So why not make the normal course 1.4 x its current length and save yourselves all that paperwork?", I once asked a staff navigator...

But then again, they were only half-wing half-brains.....
