18 days and 30 hours from 12th to 30th September 1965, ATC Flying Scholarship. Finished the syllabus in 25 hours in an Aircoupe so I paid an extra £1/5s an hour for 5 hours in a Cherokee to spruce it up a bit
Eric Thurston did my final check at Stapleford Tawney, then Mum picked me up in her Minivan so I could drive home on L plates
