Some of you guys that feel old having been on circa 100 course make me feel even older. I was on 36/38 AEOp course back in the very early 70's (got a recourse after 12 weeks of main course). Of course not at Finningley but Topcliffe. My only experience's of Finningley was for 10 days when the Royal Review took place in 1977 (the Nimrod crew I was on actually was introduced to Her Majesty), an AE Refresher course in 1981 and in the mid 80's when the Shack I was on had to divert with engine problems. Got invited into the Number 2 Mess and had a good night.
My memories of ITC are mixed but although stressful I really enjoyed the main course. Cannot believe that was 44 years ago.
