The First Flight

The L-5 aircraft

Details : -Circa: 1964, Nagpur EFTU (Elemantary Flight Training unit)

This was the plane that dad first learnt flying on. This was a two seater plane that could run for up to a couple of hours though I'm not sure how much distance it would have covered in that much time.

The plane belonged to the Nagpur flying club which is where dad's Elementary Flying Unit was based. It does seem a bit of a plum that I find myself in the same place so many years later.
I found this website that does tell us a bit about this plane. But I think dad's old picture looks better!
