Danny, In 1952 I did the basic part of the course at South Cerney on Prentices and the advanced part at Rissington on Meteor T7s. Those not selected for jets - mainly the ex Sunderland, Brigand or Lancaster chaps on my course - did the advanced part on Harvards. As you rightly say the whole of CFS moved up the hill in 1957. Little Rissington became known as "Hell on the Hill" to QFIs.
