Coff young sir,
Splendid film, never did Cranwell as a cadet but as ground crew. The Orange, the hangars all poignant memories. Were the piston trainers Balliols ? Never met that beast, and never realised Cranwell flew Vampires as trainers, but these had the "ring of confidence" so must have been from the college. Great link, thanks for sharing it, even Mrs Smudge enjoyed it.
