GATKD

I have a ATCO colleague who is looking for photos of the aircraft he learnt to fly in-GATKD, a C150 at Cambridge, which would have been flown by many NATS cadets doing their flying training-can anyone help?
if so please PM
thanks

I've got one here of 'KD with a member of No. 8 course standing in front of it. In fact several pics of No. 8 course at EGSC Sept '66. My first solo was in 'KF. I think that was later clobbered by an Oakington Varsity.

From this site, which also has some photos of its rather sad demise...

According to my log book, my first flight on the PPL course was in 'KD and during the course I also flew in the other two aircraft, 'HF and 'MC
