Indeed cyflyer, but quite a bit has been unravelled already, hasn't it? The trick is to try putting oneself back with Chris Charalambous in those hectic times. The more dangerous they were the more one lived each day to the full. I imagine that Courts Martial of the kind he faced were ten a penny, as the authorities frantically tried to keep the lid on a pot that was always on the verge of boiling over. At the end of the day if you faced the enemy and did your duty no-one on a low flying rap was going to suffer the effects for long. It is even possible that his sentence was carried out only after his flying training duties were completed in full. There is a war on you know!

The books are patiently awaiting my attention, thanks. Unfortunately so are our Grandchildren and a Wedding, which Mrs C says have priority.

Don't worry, the books are on the Kindle and next in line. Thanks again!
