184 Cse 6 FTS Acklington 1968
 

50 years ago, this bunch of keen young men graduated with their RAF Wings. I wonder how many hours we put together over the years. I'll start the ball rolling with 11000 (mainly Bulldog and Nimrod). Still adding a few new types each year.

Afternoon old dog, what a fine upstanding group of graduates (strangely enough I was looking for a course photo only a few days ago). I'll add my near 14000 hrs (over 11000 on mil rotary and the rest Shackleton and training), although I'm sure a good few of those who went onto civvy street will have considerably more.

Hi Shackman, Seems we are the only 2 still alive (or able to read)? Sadly heard the news of John Laws passing a day or 2 ago.

Must have been just about the last 6 FTS Course ever - I got there in July '68 on posting to 18 San and not a sign of training command around, except perhaps the 30+ year old wooden hutches that were our accommodation!

The peri track is about 1 mile from my house so nice to see the pics and visualist what was going on.

6FTS Acklington annual reunion 12 May at the RAF Club may be of interest to you chaps.
PM me if interested.
