When I was there we had 2 T31's and my Chevrolet Fleetmaster as tow & winch car, I had my Silver C (5 Hours on the ridge at Dunstable in an AV36 !, rest around Bicester in Grunau & Oly 2B) so although only 18 years old seemed to be most qualified and licensed there and only an SAC as well, didn't go down well with the "Rodneys" who apparently knew it all, did have a couple of good soaring flights in the local area but got peed off with the them & us attitude so left, shame really as thought it was for every ones benefit, still such was the way the system ran, got even sillier after I left as was invited back "and bring your mates and your car" only because they wanted airmen who would tow and spend the day doing the mundane with very little chance of actually flying, seem to remember "CFI" was a Chris C**ter from down the sharp end on Hunters. not sour grapes just a wasted opportunity, Paul H.
