If this is true, then well done Flower.
But why would anyone write in such detail about their own heroics? In the UK, "It just wouldn't be on, old girl". It would read something like:
"Had a fairly intersting time the other night. Lost an engine on a night recovery to the carrier. Still, with the help of the folks on the carrier I got it down in one piece - and they were kind enough to say that it was a pretty good landing."
And the god-bothering notes would definitley have been kept private!
To digress, we had a very cheerful Arab student going through a Hunter course at Valley. Not the usual prince or sheik's son, just a straight down the road mate. He'd only been speaking English for a couple of years, but did so fluently. On day they were supposed to go flying; the first T7 wouldn't start, the second had a gennie snag. They walked to the 3rd and fired it up; the radio was tits up. Back in the crewroom, the QFI said "Sorry, Sammi, it seems that Big G has decided were not going flying today". "No sir", said Sammi, "It's Big A who decides whether w*gs like me can go flying!"
