Tashengurt Background Noise Thank you for posting this.. it's very cool. I probably have the original aircraft log from that day! If you find yourself in the Los Angeles area, come and fly WG430 again! Cheers, Steve. www dot wg430 dot com

Only just seen this thread and it brings back memories of Peter Stonham and Paddy Brown from my three month hold in early 1985. Convex 1 15 Feb, WG430. In those three months I flew 55 hours and a whole bunch of cadets in the following ac:

WG 430
WP 855
WZ 845
WB 569

I also did a Summer Camp at Manston in Jul 88 and flew:

WD 373

Happy days!

If ever you find yourself in the Palm Springs, California area... come and fly WG430 again! I have the original RAF log pages.. perhaps I can find some of yours and send you copies? Thanks for posting... I've posted lots updates and photos at www dot wg430 dot com :-)

ferrybloke,
Just saw your post. That's pretty cool after all these years.
It's interesting they recorded blocks rather than individual flights.
