Just bought this book. It's not so much a good read because there is very little writing. There are many excellent photographs of years past. There are a couple of photographs of my son when he trained there to be a pilot :D

Now I have two things to do. First, buy another copy for my son. Second, get them signed by the Commanding Officer of the squadron, who we know well. :D

My son has kept in touch with quite a few trainees he was with. There could be more signatures in the book than the written word :lol:
