Gee was still the principal fixing aid - very handy for a third position line for exercises involving Astro, Consol,NDBs etc.
Funny, we went to camp at Stradishall in '67 and I did fly in a Dominie (captained by Sqdn Ldr Cozens)!! They were reserved for CWOs and Flt Sgts while the rest of the cadets had the Varsity flights.
