G-APAP was at Upavon when I was stationed there. On occasions G-APAM would also be available. I will not disagree with earlier comments but AP definitely was the tug in residence in my time. I left Upavon in March 73. I have it in one of my logbooks too.
Hi GGR. That would by 1972 have been the Wyvern Army Gliding Club, which moved from Netheravon to Upavon in 1972, bringing PAP with them after RAFGSA Moonrakers closed down at the end of 1971. Ralph Jones would have dropped in to do repair assessment and air tests in PAM. By then he was mostly using it to commute Thruxton/Compton Abbas (which he ran with John Thorne). The 'commute' down the A30 was done almost irrespective of weather - don't ask me how I know...
