Re Dougie's photo, post 4156
There are a few of us, from the original Reservist Trial, who have operated Albert in the RAF, RAFVR and RAuxAF.
The rightly much admired Stu Vince "held my hand" to fly Albert as part of the parade flypast at Cranwell, on 5 April 1997, when all those in the RAFVR moved into the RAuxAF. Much better than being on the parade!
Apparently the RAFVR still exists but there is no one in it. An empty cupboard!
Interesting how some of those, who were dismissive of the Auggies and reservists when they were regulars, changed their views when retirement allowed them to continue in the Auggies.
I'm just glad that we made it work for all those who followed.
