Hi Bob. Did not go to St Johns School but in St Johns Scout Group. St Johns had the distinction of having the very first Air Scouts in the British Isles and I was its first Patrol Leader. Always had leanings to the Navy but found what I was given to teach the patrol second nature. From there I joined the ATC where they took me to Blackpool, sat me in a Flight Simulator (Link Trainer then) which I immediately flew. The CO sent me, at his expense, to train at Blackpool every week. That's how I became a pilot. Nice to remember all this. Frank Sanderson
