A bird strike on 1FTS XR668/45 - As well as being used to train students, this aircraft was regularly used by Pete Jarvis ( Linton-on-Ouse Solo aerobatics representative from 1963 - 1966). When Pete left the RAF in 1967 the frame was almost at the end of its fatigue life. Pete doesn't remember this bird strike, so I assume a student was flying the aircraft at the time. - Photo Courtesy of David Mulford
