During the March 2003 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.
