Ex AAC on here and the AAC Vets Facebook page
I was idly wondering this morning how many people are active on both here and the Facebook page - ex Army Air Corps.
I suspect lots here, but not so many on FB? Any thoughts/feedback? Cheers, Sam. |
Course 238....... :)
Didn't know there was a facebook page - will check! phil |
1978 to 1996. Rarely post on here, more frequently on the AACVA page on Facebook.
|
1979-1999

Oh dear. 292, 1985. Last of the "old pilot" courses before the P2 thing started. I know, I'm a Nig. But I'm not on FB.

Perhaps look at ARRSE
|
Mine was 343, looks like I'm the junior on here so far!
Hadn't thought of ARRSE - but at the same time that's clearly bigger than either the AACVA or the mil-aviation part of this site. |
|
329 for me....
|
Sam,
Phew! wasnt going to post until someone else was the "nooby". APC 340 |
Not actually AAC but spent 7 years on exchange from RAF instructing on Lynx and Gazelle so AAC by association?????:ok:
|
Not much on Arrse at all these days.
|
288 vintage :)
|
ACM(O) 62
APC 326 Don't do FB |

Crab, were you at Shawbury 97 to 2000ish? flew to Kiel with Stumpy?
|
No, not guilty. Shawbury 90 - 94 on 2 Sqn then CFSH. Then Wallop for 7 years.:ok:
|
Hi Non-PC Plod,
We must have overlapped (just!)! Still makes me the nooby - nobody more recent?! |
Hi Sam
Real names suit me Going back a bit, 218 - along with Buck Koldeway Malone Stansfeld Wilson Young Buisseret Stirk Morgan Courtenay Russel-Roberts. Wonder if they still are hands on. |
Would that be Bob Malone, Mike?
phil |
Correct, Bob Malone, he and John Stirk were good friends
|
284 APC: 50% chop rate :eek:
|
Yup. They were ruthless. We had 22 that started, 9 finished. Of those 4 are dead from flying accidents.

I took over from Bob at WPD.

Same again, I'm guessing you must be PC, SG, IH or CA? Am staring at my "Pring" print as I write. JD |
It was a moffelous course JD with some outstanding people. Hope all is well with you. I'm the one in the car ;-)

Army Pilot Course 173 - 1964/5 !!! :)

APC 275 the last 'proper course'
|
APC 216, 1970 - 1971.
Started with 20 or 22, & 13 finished. I know that one for sure is dead, killed in a car bomb in NI, Pip Cox, Cpl of Horse. |
I think the car bomb fatality in N Ireland was a Royal Marine on 225 APC.
|
I know for sure a Military Police pilot killed by explosion opening car door in Omagh was Sheridan Young 218 course RIP

Derek was on exchange/attachment to the Army. Standard honey-trap car bomb. |
'We had 22 that started, 9 finished. Of those 4 are dead from flying accidents.'
So was the chop rate too low? |
