Just wondering how many of us have flown at Bicester and when.



If I remember correctly, Paddy towed in a Chipmonk. It did not have a starter ....they started it with -believe it or not - shotgun shell blanks. Never seen anything like it!

All RAF Chipmunks had Coffman cartridge starters. They were only converted to electric when demobbed and put on the civil register.
