I had my first powered flight in WB567 on 14 November 1971 at RAF Turnhouse. I have recently found my ATC log and she is the first entry. I spent 25 minutes flying between the forth bridges and doing a couple of loops over Fife. Do you have any pics of her at the time as I am hoping to build a model?

Also Like Gerry I have just found my ATC log book while cleaning out my mums loft.  WB567 was my 2nd powered flight with WK585 being my 1st. 28 Minutes on 4/may/86 at Turnhouse.
