First trip in a 10, was a training sortie at Lossie, when a tannoy call went out for volunteers for a flight. Massively over subscribed. I recall we covered a large part of Scotland during it. Memories are passing over Tiree and looking down on one of 202's Whirlwinds doing some training off the coast near Lossie. The Cpl from the bay I worked in, was asked to play an awkward passenger, which he seemed to enjoy. My most memorable trip was coming back from Ascension after hostilities ceased. There were a few sailors on board who had come from down South. As soon as the seatbelt signs went off, they crashed out across the seats or on the floor between the seat rows, and slept most of the way back. I imagined it must have been a while since any of them had had a decent sleep. Got a few trips on them during my time in the RAF, and always enjoyed them. Still looks futuristic now, despite their age.
