Joined Wilson Patrol as an RAF pilot cadet, having left Australia to enter flying training in the UK. Ken Ledward was our inspirational leader who succeeded in melding a very disparate group into, as I remember it, a very happy one which worked well together. I developed a profound love of the countryside as a result, quite apart from developing interpersonal skills that would stand me in good stead through life’s journey. I often wonder what became of my patrol colleagues. I have no way of finding out however, more’s the pity. I attach a few course photos which may be of interest.
