Thanks Leif, I've updated the thumbnails so that people can now see what they are instead of a few jumbled pixels

No sweat they look ok over there and are taking traffic

Feel Like doing a Hamster Chippie? I do believe that G-AMXL was sold to the Air College from Luton Flying CLub in the Mid 60s -- there is a good example
still flying around in Hamble colours G-ARWG

Please forgive my ignorance - I was never in the service so don't speaka da lingo - (I was a brat, daddy was a Flight Sergeant) but what's an 'amster? Apart from being baked bean orange and white in colour and furry of course.....

I found a reference to G-ARMG, part of the Center of Aviation Training

Which would be rather nice, so I may give that a go..............

Hamster = coloquial term for a BOAC/BEA student(cadet) pilot - training at Hanble -- Hence "Hamble Hamster's" I remember the chipmunks coming into Luton Flying Club in the mid 60s -- I guess they must have used it as one of the stops for their long cross countries as they always had to come into the office and
phone home before continuing on. At the time Luton Flying Club possessed two Chipmunks - G-AMMA and G-AMXL - so we also owned a large dayglo orange
trolley accumulator (trolleac) which I pulled out onto the grass many times to get the neophyte Trident , VC10,Vanguard and 1-11 pilots started

by the way if you now where the plug in is on a Chippy -- it was a slightly scary place for a 14 year old to stand
