I never got an AEF flight on basic or trade training. Nobody else did either in 1984. We did see a lot of policemen mind!
Good news if those today on basic do get the chance to fly hands on..
As for the artwork, I'm undecided on the hands in pockets, can't be holding bats or wands waiting for your see in on the line. Personal view, but nice to see some memorial to the reason Trenchard decided to use Halton after the Great War..
Is it really almost 30 years since I went through there?
