CFS in 1963, UAS Chipmunks, FTS JP's, OCU Vulcans, RSAF grading C-172s, SOAF/RAFO Skyvans/Defenders, Middle Wallop (AAC) Chipmunks, OATS & Cranfield. My one and only aim was to ensure that my students succeeded and, possibly more importantly, had the ability to progress into the operational theatre. Some, I am afraid, did not, and I always felt that I had let them down! That, of course , was when I think we had a fairly clear and understandable idea of a good QFI/student relationship! Not always "politically correct" but never verging towards bullying or physical violence!!
I thought (and still do), that I have done the best (within my ability) to help all my students to achieve their aim. To those that haven't I am sorry!!

Bill.
