		The flight was part of an RAF equal opportunities recruitment initiative which aims to highlight to the ethnic minority community the diverse range of career opportunities in the light-blue uniform.

	RAF Bridgnorth - Memories of the RAF Station (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-07)
		RAF Cardington seemed like a zoo, giving the impression of organized chaos but in fact it was far from it.
		My memories of RAF Bridgnorth are not that extensive but of the usual things like parades, constant 'bull' to try and stay one step in front of the D.I. Someone else mentioned a Cpl Pope, he was our D.I. so I presume it must be the same one.
		RAF Cosford was nearby and in those days it use to be the training camp for Boy Entrants.

	Britannia Aircraft Preservation Trust - History of G-ALRX - the second Britannia prototype
		The modification was enhanced by the increase in the number of 'real' instruments and controls, allying the flight deck to the RAF version, by utilising parts from the RAF Britannia that ran off the end of the runway at RAF Khormaksar, Aden in 1967 (XL638).
		It was during this period that the fuselage section gained a RAF style 'lightning flash', carried on all RAF Britannias.
		In 2003, the RAF style lightning flash colour scheme was replaced with an authentic early 1950s BOAC livery, identical to the one it carried during its brief flying career.

	[3.0] Microwave Radar & The MIT Rad Lab (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-07)
		Partly the reason AI had dropped in priority was that even with longwave radars, RAF night fighter forces had become vastly more effective, due to a number of measures.
		The RAF had also phased out the pathetic Blenheim night fighters, replacing them with the Bristol Beaufighter, a stubby brute of an aircraft that was built specifically for the task.
		Although the Germans staged a raid on London on the night of 10 May 1941 that killed three thousand people and flattened the House of Commons, it was the last stab of the Blitz.

	Boy Entrant by Brian Carlin (Book) in
		As a rule, any book failing to grab my interest in the first 3 pages, is rarely, if ever persevered with.
		At 403 pages, the well presented Book is not only excellent value for money in any currency, it is an in depth, extrememly interest filled insight into the life of a R.A.F. Boy Entrant from his first Boyhood realisation that schooldays were soon to end and thoughts of what great changes life would bring thereafter.
		The smallest, details of long forgotten incidents, in our formative years are so ably rekindled in vivid detail to the minds eye, so expertly described, and made all the more pleasurable with the rosy tint of the passage of time.
