You were instructing on my course, No 4 July- Nov 30th 1967, and the co-pilot solos were still being done.
On Nov 8th I flew in XV188 with Laurie Martin as the pilot instructor and Malcolm Hunt as the co-pilot. Laurie in the RH seat and Malcolm in the LH. After 1hr 25 mins Laurie got out and for the co-pilot solo was replaced by another co-pilot, Bob Willson in the RH seat.
I checked with my old mate Angus Morris who was on 2 Course and he confirmed that he did his co-pilot solo with Ed Viney ( another co-pilot )in the RH seat.
I guess because no staff were on these flights it slipped your memory.
However as I said in my previous post they were no longer being carried out by 8 Course.
