the 'Super Cubs'

I remember flying these circa 68-69. The were 90hp not later 150 hp engines . Non-radio and had to be swung to start. Learnt spinning , short-field operations and the basic PPL in these and I wonder what happened to them. For those with more cash there was a Scottish Aviation Bulldog . Vic Hargreaves was I believe the rather stern instructor with a stiff leg who had to slide into the front seat. This was a bit awkward and put him in a bad mood for the detail from the start...
