WIWAL (when I were a lad) the timetable was a little different.
Since holding postings didn’t feature, the training was fairly efficient:
First solo was on a Provost T1, the JP not yet being in service.
06 Sep 54 Inducted Cardington
10 Sep 54 ITS Kirton-in-Lindsey
07 Dec 54 3FTS Feltwell, first solo 31 Dec 54
24 Aug 55 8 FTS Swinderby, wings 09 May 56
27 May 56 233 OCU Pembrey first Hunter F1 flight 10 Jul 56 (my 20th birthday)
29 Aug 56 98 Sqn Jever
From catching the train to Cardington, time to;-
First solo almost 17 weeks
First Squadron not quite 2 years.
Sadly, Duncan Sandys spoiled it all on 27 Jul 57 and I suppose the next 30 months at Halton waiting to rejoin the flying RAF could count as a holding posting.
