Halesland Tales
JP & Woo Thats what the ATC 'WAS' all about and of course quite mini epics in their own right.
No doubt all arranged on the back of an envelope and i love the 'jerry can' bit; (still doing that).
This is why the thread has so much input from those who know how capable the organisation was at organising 'itself' when the need arose.
A long barge tow is hard work at any time but the scenery en route spectacular even if progress is slow.
JP i do not think Christchurch would have been en-route do you mean Chivenor !
My first ever aero tow was an unofficial event provided by a Navy T-Moth.
This was a 'check' in a Mk3 and then a couple in the Prefect.My next one was in a T53 at Swanton. (no one ever noticed the 'Navy' bit)
