Back in the early 80's while I was in the Air Training Corps I'd go flying as often as possible. In this picture, me and two fellow cadets (from 2473 Sqn ATC) are waiting for an air experience flight in a Chipmunk at RAF Abingdon. I was a Flight Sergeant at this stage and also doing my glider pilot training, gaining my solo glider pilot wings shortly after this powered flight.

In this picture a cadet deposits the contents of his stomach, secured in a bag into a bin. The bag was filled due to aerobatic manoeuvres which disagreed with the greasy food the cadet had eaten for lunch

My first light aicraft flying experiences were gained with the Air Training Corps. I took this shot at RAF Abingdon as a cadet waddled out to a waiting Chipmunk for an air experience flight (the emergency use parachutes made walking very difficult). If he was lucky he would have done some aerobatics while airborne. In the background you can see some VC-10s awaiting their tanker conversion. The RAF had just acquired these aircraft from British Airways
