I've got WB971 in my logbook; that was at Halton, but it had that horrible canopy fitted.
JEM60; yes Toppy was there with Jacko as boss of course; Phil Plows was CFI. I helped out winch driving on a summer course; Chris Rollings relieved me and sent me to the launch point and Phil said 'fly that one, I'm not going to bother with a check flight, as far as I'm concerned you're P1 as from now'.
Then there was Ken Bayliss. One saturday, very gusty and bit of a crosswind as there was a Scout camp occupying the airfield so we couldn't operate directly into wind. Anyway, I did a launch with KGB, then another and another, 5 in all. Then he says 'stay in' and goes away, coming back a minute later with a cadet; 'nice safe flying in these conditions' he says ' so you can now take your first air experience cadet.
Suddenly and most unexpected I was a P2!!
I got my 'C' in VX275 (before I broke it) during a detachment to Bovingdon; wonder if anyone from 617 GS ever got a 'C' there.
