I was in the ATC, left just before coming to uni this year.

I can't begin to imagine how hard they are to do.

Very impressive.

PS, of course if between you you were to come up with a Cranwell JP5, a Finningley Jetstream, a 206 Sqn Nimrod, a 101 Sqn VC10 K, the Tutor as mentioned above, a 10 Sqn C1K, and then a 101 Sqn C1K... that would be me about covered.... so far :lol: :lol: :dance: :dance: :shock:


Thankfully for painting purposes my service history's a little shorter! :lol: Oddly enough, looking in the logbook, VJ seems to have been my mount of "choice" during my EFT days...

The tutor template is easily changed, so I can put in any reg / tailcode and UAS logo desired.

I will get back to drawing my 1-11 and others soon, been busy with website and real life stuff!

Well, I guess I qualify whichever meaning of ATC you're using. :lol:

I was a member of 1189 (Portsmouth) Squadron from 1962 until I left to join the other type of ATC at Heathrow in 1967. I made my first ever flight in a Hastings from Thorney Island and attended my first camp at Swinderby - then an AFTS with Vampires - the following year. I did most of my Chipmunk flying with No.2 AEF at Hamble and got my gliding certificate at Tangmere in 1964.

Happy days. :wink:

Yes...I was in 85 (Southgate) Squadron Air Training Corps in the late forties. I rose to the dizzy rank of Flight Sergeant.

I did much Air Experience flying at first in Tiger Moths, then some real flying training starting in the Tiger...But it was just as the RAFVR changed over to Chipmunks, so I moved over to them.

Got my Gliding A at North Weald in 1949...It was before they had any two seaters.

Did a flight to Berlin in the Airlift in a Dak and stayed there for four days.

I used my training in the ATC to ready myself to join the RAF as a "Fitter Two E"...However, when I went to actually join the RAF, the Recruiting Sergeant took a look at my ATC record of service and my School Certificate results and said "No No! son...you don't want to be a "Fitter Two E...You want to be a pilot...Just come in here and sit down and take a few tests...."

I have to say that I would recommend the Air Training Corps and the Royal Air Force to anyone who is interested in a career in aviation :dance:
