I have received the following e-mail and fabulous photos

Dear Adam

I was in contact with you some while ago with the intention of visiting your unit at Hullavington. At the time my daughter was living in the area, so I was there quite often. However, she has moved over to Ireland now, so I no longer pass that way.

I recently scanned all my old colour slides into my computer and found the attached photos. The first five were taken at Weston and the rest at Halesland. The last three depict myself, about to depart in a Prefect, John Stride (who eventually became CFI) and Mark Rudd (Instructor} with John Abell (another Staff Cadet). John carried on to have a career in the RAF, flying mostly Javelins and Phantoms.

Yours sincerely

Chris Roberts

I have been in contact with Chris and hopefully we will be able to get him along to visit us sometime soon.
