If you can permit a bit of thread drift, I was interested to see 1861 Wantage Squadron Air Training Corps appear on this forum. I was a cadet in the squadron back in 1957 although technically it was the detached flight at Didcot.
FltLt Authur Simmons was the CO of the Wantage squadron and FltLt Bob Gardner was the CO of the Didcot detached flight. I think that it was about 1960 that the detached flight was renamed 2410 Didcot sqn.
Thanks for evoking some very pleasant memories.
