Proper 'Blue' Flying Suits, the 'Grubby Yellow' Life Preserver and the 'Blue' 4 Point Seat Harness

Our good friends at the RAF AHB have come up trumps

The picture was taken at RAF Wattisham, in the Summer of 1965. At the time WD391 (Cl-0329/DHB.f.215) was allocated to the University of London Air Squadron (ULAS) ... so this is clearly a 'Summer Camp' pic.

Probably a bit before BEagle's time as a stude with ULAS ... but if he pops by he might recognise the instructor ... bit of a long shot though

Sadly (according to the 'Good Book') WD391 is no longer with us as she crashed during low flying at Mulakot Iceland 24th July 1982. She then carried the civil registration TF-RAF. I have no knowledge as to the fate of the crew.

Best ...

Coff.
