A quick query, I've just come across a not very good photo of a Varsity from 1963 - around Easter. I was at school in Birkenhead and the CO of the CCF RAF section had wangled a week's visit to RAF Gutersloh. Memories fade but we were flown to Wildenrath from (I think) Topcliffe in this Varsity - the interior of which was set out for either navigational or signals training. From the photo the serial was WF329. Would this have been Topcliffe? And what unit would the plane have been from? One clear memory is that we sat on the apron for 45 minutes while trying to start one of the engines.
