Another first solo for the Kirby Cadet Mk III at Tern Hill as a 16 year-old (I think) CCF cadet - bloody brilliant!
First powered solo was in a Cessna 150 at Perth, Scone on a Flying Scholarship as a just 18 year-old CCF cadet.
First jet solo (no Chipmunks for me in the service sadly) was in a JP3 at Church Fenton when it was an RLG for Linton.
First single seat solo was in a Hunter F6 at Valley.
Most memorable? The first ever at Tern Hill and then the first solo on the course in a light weight Harrier GR3 - the contrast couldn't have been more marked!
Happy memories...
