We are currently involved in re permit to fly of Slingsby T31 Cadet Ex RAF serial no XE799.
This particular Aircraft’s claim to fame, was that it was reportedly flown by Group Captain Jonnie Johnson at Cottesmore for his ‘first’ glider solo. He evidently attended 44 Gliding School whilst Station Commander in charge of the V Bombers in 1954.
Would anybody on the forum have further details, recollections or photos?

His log books have been checked, but we have drawn a blank. We would love to find more info.
Any help appreciated.

XE799
Thank you, too kind, but that is exactly the web site which I am trying to further research.
So far it is the only mention that I have located, and I was hoping that somebody might remember it, and possibly locate a photo?
Thanks
