WG478 was on the line at Church Fenton Primary Flying Squadron, I flew her on 9 October 1970 with Fg Off Cairns as the student.
In 1967-8 the Leeds UAS fleet included '478. It was F/L Dick Kidney's usual mount, yellow prop spinner IIRC. As one of his students I spent many happy hours in it, but my 1st solo was in '517 (my log book doesn't show the letter part of the reggie). The favourite of the C/O (S/L Robbie Chambers) was '316 - blue spinner to match his bone dome.
