Beagle Bassett XS766 was with WCS but use at Andover was stopped due to propellors making contact with the grass surface.

Very interesting programme. Also enjoyed the Catalina piece on Castle Archdale and Operation Deadlight the scuttling of the U-boat fleet off Malin Head at the end of the war. The sunken Sherman tanks from a U-boat attack on the sea bed made engrossing viewing.

Had my first flight in a T-31 at RAFGSA Clevelands,RAF Leeming 30 Nov 1958 aged five. I was in the front seat with my dad in the back work that out ballast wise. Years later he said the control column was well forward most of the time.

My photo came from “Test Pilot” by Brian Johnson,BBC Publications 1986, page 26 No. 1 course photograph was taken on a school visit to Filton. The persons identity is Sqdn Ldr A.K.Cook. He went to Avros as a production test pilot on Lancasters.

Patrick Otter was the author of three fine volumes of No.1 Group Lancaster history “Maximum Effort” published circa 1990. Well worth getting hold of for the pictures of that era.
