60 Gnat Course - 1971

We had 60 Course flying suit badges made, pictured below. Note how the underwing tanks have been replaced by bottles of 'Newkie Brown'. I never did get around to putting this one on a flying suit.

I agree with you. I've known him since 1958 and still meet up occasionally. He has done untold crazy things, both in the air and on the ground, which most of us have dismissed as tall stories but are subsequently proved true. As I said earlier I'm sure poor old Bungalow had his eyes firmly closed from T/O to LDG.

Still kicking

Jane-Anne is happily married and can still be spotted at every summer ball and Christmas draw. Dougie Mee (and his wife Jane) are still
haunting Valley and keeping the youngsters agog at every dining in. He's a stalwart hon member of 208 (penetrate).

Good to hear that, ReedEmAndWeep - Janeane always was a very nice young lady who often invited groups of us back to her parents' mansion near Llangefni after our Sunday Sandymount sessions. Much maligned by some, but a generous, friendly little soul at heart.

Dougie Mee really must be 'Mr Valley'! A real character who must have been at Valley in various incarnations for over 50 years now! And always one step ahead of the water baliff......
