84 Squadron based at Coventry (Baginton) airport in the early eighties. Rose to the heady rank of First Class cadet and came first in the annual aircraft recognition contest one year. Went gliding at Little Rissington once.
I remember that all the cadets were there because they wanted to join the RAF. I did too, but the cadets made me realise that me and the military weren't going to get on. Ironically, one lad in my class at school is now an Air Cdre and I don't remember him being in the ATC.
