Hi all,

Are there any ex Swindeby EFTS QFI's or students from the last Chipmunk courses out there?

If so, please get in touch regarding an important ongoing project.

Cheers

Hi all,

thanks for the replies. I am looking for those that were there on the last year or so of EFTS.

Cheers!

Don't worry LCP, I was on 68 Cse on Chipmunks at Swinderby, but it was FSS then not EFTS, so that makes me even older!!!!

Sorry Lowkey, we are out by just over a decade!!! Note I was 68 FSS Cse (the forerunner to EFTS, on this turn of the wheel), not 68 EFTS Cse!!
