Marshall's Messerschmitt's.

Can anyone name some of the great pilot’s who came from this flight school :confused: .

I know of one famous fighter pilot(J.J), but I am interested in how many other well known pilot’s came from there as well 😉 .

Cheer’s all far and wide 😀 , Tally :dev2: Ho! :dev2: Ho! Phil :diablo: .

The late Judith Chisholm learned to fly with Marshall’s in 1968. She broke the England-Australia solo record in 1980. Judy was quite a girl! Others, well known in aviation circles, include Tim Prince and the late Paul Bowen, both of RIAT fame. I know this because I was on the same air traffic control course as these three. I take a little pride in having learned to fly at the same place as JJ, insignificant though I am in comparison!
