I completed the Proficiency Gliding Course at RAF Swanton Morley in 1971 as an Air Cadet. Here are the instructions I was given on arrival.
Here are the Chipmunk T Mk 10 Flying Instructor’s Handbook and the Jet Provost T Mk 3 & T Mk 4 Flying Instructor’s Handbook. (Thanks Batty for the Chipmunk manual and Ted Hunkin for the JP manual.)
The Harrier GR3/T4 and Chipmunk T Mk 10 (thanks again Batty!) Flight Reference Cards are now here. Enjoy.
Here’s a scan of the Gnat T Mk 1 Flying Instructor’s Manual, as used at RAF Valley during the 1970’s. Thanks Batty, for the original.
Last one for today – Bulldog T Mk 1 FRCs.
I’m on a roll – Hawk T Mk 1 FRCs from 1978 (RAF Valley) and 1979 (RAF Brawdy).
And here are the FRCs for the JP 5A that I flew at RAF Cranwell in 1976-77.
For the good of humanity, I’ve scanned in my copies of the Folland Gnat T Mk 1 Aircrew Manual and Flight Reference Cards. Click on the links to download as PDFs.
