The first snow of 1966 came early in February.
The a/c is an AST Cessna 310 D: either G-ARCI or G-ARBC
They were still flying 7 years later, I started my IR training on these aircraft in Nov '73. My instructors were Captains Bob Critchley, Dave(?) Blair, Ray Elliot and Hector Skinner who ended up being my main instructor, a lovely fellow who got me through without any problems!
Hey
CSman, did you get your pprune name from Cyril Sweetman?
Chris Scott thanks for starting this thread. Although I started my training at AST 6 or 7 years after you, a few of the photos posted brought back memories
