"Mr Chipmunk"

[Top West 50]

I was a colleague of John Winterbourne, as a fellow Examiner on Basic Squadron HQ CFS in 1974 (the selection test for Exam Wing at the time was, "could you spend a wet weekend in Sleaford with this chap?"). I think John went on for a few more years after me. He was a lovely man and an inspiration to many. A great character, I recall him eating an ice cream with absolute concentration whilst Doug Barden (OC Basic Sqn)drove the staff car - quite a feat, the rest of us were terrified!

John Winterbourne was my Grandfather and I would greatly appreciate receiving this if you’ve still got it? Thanks

John Stuart Winterbourne was my Dad. Following a 3 year stint in West Africa, training the Ghanians who were to form the new Ghanian Airforce, he was posted to CFS Little Rissington, (home of the Red Arrows at the time) where he continued to train, fly and examine. Pretty sure that the Airforce Cross was awarded during the Ghanian tour as I remember going to the presentation!

You are one of many Grandkids. I have some books here. Very dated. I believe them to be the books that taught the man that taught.
