My first flight was in a Sea Prince for an air familiarisation trip at HMS Condor, Arbroath in the mid 1960's where I was a baby Artificer Apprentice. It must have lasted all of 15 minutes!
The air station boasted just one Sea Prince and one pilot - who's drove a very beautiful Bristol I recall.
I don't think anything else flew from Condor at that time, though a variety of RN jets made their final flights into the airfield for us apprentices to play with

A few years later in the 1970's at Culdrose as a baby pilot this time, I often had to fight for space in the circuit with 750 Sea Princes
