Ah, the good old days. Started with 1365 Aylesbury Squadron. Second flight ever was in a Beverley. Subsequently many Ansons, Chipmunks at White Waltham. Notable summer camp at Kinloss. Didn't get a Shackleton, but our Anson was flying in formation with another. We were going to Wick to pick up an airman, and the pilot alongside decided it would be fun to have our wings overlapping !!!. I kid you not, this actually happened. Scared the s..t out of us!. Got a Vampire T.11 at Shawbury on summer camp, and was eventually Staff Cadet on 613GS at RAF Halton. Great days!!.
