Amongst other things it records a flight of 65 minutes I had on 16/08/1960 in a Varsity from RAF Ballykelly during summer camp there.However due to my terrible writing I can't quite make out the full serial number of the aircraft.The numerals are 331but the letters are virtually unreadable.They may possibly be WF or BF.I know it's a long shot but anyone here be able to help identify this aircraft? Thanks gents.EricT

Not a joke this time!.I recently found my old Record of Service (logbook) from my Air Training Corps days and although it has suffered a bit of water damage somehow,it is mostly still fairly legible.It brings back many memories of summer camps and air experience flights etc.

Many thanks Garry,you're a star!I have now bookmarked that URL.
I can't recall which livery 331 was wearing at that time.I presume it would have been yellow training bands.

Hi Eric
Pleasure
Yes
It would probably have been standard bands over the over the white top livery.
It has a long but probably uneventful career just busily getting on with it job almost unnoticed
