Golden Apple Training day. Recurrent training for old b*ggers and introducing new team pilots to type(s).

Aeroplanes ran without a single hiccup.

Well done ARC!

IIRC there were a pile of them scrapped at RAF Shawbury in about ’61-63 ish?

I certainly remember the ‘blue note’ they made?

Any sound/film files coming up folks?

Saucer of cream to Black Knight……………..but I do concur. Spencer changed his underpants after that trip. He hardly had time to get bored! He may have been referring to training trips in a two seater perhaps.

Full face mask avoids that ‘being recognised’ problem…

Also avoids ‘ugly, old fart pilots’ screwing up the shots for you lot!!!

Seriously tho’ the Campbell helmet (with mask) does go a long way to pilot bonce protection + a halfway house to looking ‘quasi vintage’.

During David Henchie’s time I thought there was a cunning plan to extend the runway to the west? That would be nice for the ‘suck and blow’ aircraft.

Thanks for the very useful feedback/comments from you all.

This particular occasion, in Dar es Salaam, was a watershed in my life and it was from this point I decided that I wanted to be a pilot. I did indeed becme a professional pilot although it was some 45 years later before I managed to fly a Vampire single seater!

If anyone has a colour photo of the Vampire in 32 squadron markings or a colour drawing I would be most grateful.
