My two trainers, Snowy Philpott and Johnny Lythe were old hands who had seen it all and injected humour and gentle discipline in to us.
Snowy was my trainer along wit John Jenner. Back in those days the courses were segregated and the only time you met the girls was in the canteen. Back then girls were taught more about deportment, make up and hairdos. The boys learnt how to tie a dicky bow and shoe laces!
Cranebank in the early 70's was probably reognised as the best training school in the world. The RAF used it for their cabin service training along with SEP.
