From a correspondent - My late father, William Sydney Ellis, was in the Voluntary Reserve and flew this aircraft around 1966 to 1969. Indeed I was the staff cadet who would oversee the visiting Air Cadets strapping them into parachutes and walking them to the aircraft and checking the harness was adjusted correctly. Fun times for me at the age of 15-16.
