Course 27 (1965 - 1966)

Course 27 probably started early in 1965 and ran until the summer of 1966.



Dave (?) Hawkins, Norman Waller, Martin Mann *^, ? Smith, ? Dolly.
Tim Bennett, ? Flood, Dennis Murphy, John Mullin,

Absent from the photo: Barry Jackson.

*^ Martin won the Principal's Award for No. 27 Course.

CPL/IR courses at Perth tended to end with a whimper, rather than a bang, because of the vagaries of weather (particularly in the winter) and availability of IREs from the Ministry**. Once a student had passed his Instrument Rating, he was off the premises a.s.a.p., to minimise costs!

** Ministry of Aviation's Civil Aviation Flying Unit (CAFU), based at Stansted. (The MoA was soon to become the Board of Trade, Civil Aviation Department.)
