I was very keen on the Link Trainer. I went to it whenever I was allowed and enjoyed "driving" that machine. Curiously, when I was settling down shortly afte the war, I became an "untrained" Link instructor at RAF Matching Green in Essex, and enjoyed myself completely with teaching and flying it myself.
The only 'gafa' I ever knew was the old gaffer sitting in the corner seat of the dear old English pub. I still miss the pubs, so now I'm a gaffer without one.
