Descriptionof The Few Who Flew. RAF National Service Pilots 1955-1957

An evocative memoir written by one of the last young men to train as a RAF pilot, gaining his "Wings" in April 1957 just days before the end of National Service.
Michael Morris was selected to do his flying training in Canada alongside fellow British and NATO pilots from seven different countries. Initial training was on Harvards at Moose Jaw in the Prairies and then jet flying on the worlds best trainer at the time, the T-33 Canadair Silver Star.
"The Few Who Flew" reflects Michaels inherent love of all aspects of aviation.

The last three chapters cover "Churchills Secret Airfield", RAF Tempsford, Bedfordshire near Michaels home; his views on the future of aviation in a low carbon world and then finishing with some provocative thoughts of a one-year "Service to the Nation" for all young school leavers.
