During the March meeting of the video club members
celebrated the 80th birthday of Paul Holden, who founded the club 19
years ago. There were drinks all round. One of the members, David
Jackson, then showed a filmed interview where Paul recounted how he had
started in the RAF where he had flown Spitfires, Hurricanes and
Tempests.
He recounted how it was part of his role to fly his aircraft in a flight
pattern closely simulating that followed by doodle-bugs so ATS staff
could practice operating the predictors which controlled the guns. |
