Cocky Dundas, Robin and other members of 56 Squadron at Duxford January 1942.



Robin, whose sudden appearance and over familiar behaviour outraged Air Vice Marshal Vincent on the occasion of an inspection by General de Gaulle at 59 OTU in October 1941. This together with his Master's unkempt appearance coupled with the split-arse formation flying demonstrated to the dignitaries by Dundas and his Free French trainees resulted in Cocky and Robin being given an immediate posting.
