Well done them, and the greatest respect to Dr Egging.

I remember my graduation from 22 Gnat Course at 4 FTS in June 1966 - told at breakfast to look at the programme as I am leaving on posting to OCU that night, but first dual, solo, sim and FHT sorties. Completed that lot and Bob Turner tells me to complete my log book, get it signed and pack - train leaves at about 1830, "Oh, and you are posted to Canberra Strike OCU at Bassingbourn". No ceremony whatever - but then I did not win any of the prizes either. Seems a long, long time ago.
