No, I didnt do the Herc course in USA. I must have been after you at Thorney, I cant remember the course number, but we started about Aug 1967 and finished Feb 1968. I then went to 24 which was the second UK sqn to form. As you said, there were lots of baby navs around the Hercs then. We had 24 navs on the sqn and I recon well over half were first tourists.
