you can just make out a BKS Ambassador in the distance, next to a DC-3!



Swinderby April 1975 and one of the last intakes to be issued with a 'hairy suit' :-({|= We had to wait at least 2 years before we could get a 'Thunderbirds' style No2 uniform. I can still feel those trousers itch during the long hot summer of 76!
BTW, look at the guy bottom right........they only let the cream of our youth in the RAF. He looks worse than he was however and was a trainee 'Aerospace Systems Operator', as was almost everybody on that flight. I was a 'last minute entrant' so the rest of my course (trainee A Fitt E's) went through a week ahead of me and got a weeks leave before going to Halton. I went straight there :sad:
