Brings many good memories of learning to sky-dive at APA Netheravon . Better than my previous Course in Aden ,DH Beaver ,1966 .
PS . Forgot to mention Half-Penny Greens" jump from a Rapide , old age is why l guess . Best wishes and safe landings to all .
First aircraft I flew in aged about 4 1954 Ringway airfield (now Manchester) 10 shillings for about 15mins
