No, I was on 4 Course - my only claim to fame is the first baby nav' to be told he was going to the 'not yet in service' Herc. Just before 88 Course finished one of our syndicate instructors, the only decent one I might add, the great Brian Weatherly ( later a Flt Cdr on 48 at Lyneham ) told me there was a chance that a Herc' posting would be offered to a first tourist, if so its yours he said.
In fact there were 2 slots for my course ( 88 ) and Tony Fawcus got the other - by the time 4 course started Dai Jones ( 89 ) and John Pilkington ( 90 ) had also received Herc' postings, all of which were to 48 at Changi. Des Pope and my old mate Arthur Chapman from 90 were on 5 Course.
This of course opened the floodgates for first tourists, as from 5 Course onwards there must have been at least 50% first tourists.
I guess 29 Course must have been in 1970.
