I'm surprised that he survived to be court martialled!
We had an airman theiving from his mates, 54 cases sir. He was a smart, clever airman who did an excellent job at Waddington whilst awaiting his CM. He was at Waddington as his mates at Cottesmore would have lynched him.
If a joe had aborted a mission for now good reason where most of my mates had gone through hell and a few survived, I think the WWI . . . .
Ok, we are now a carrying, sharing, air force, so do the sqn cdr too for not realising he was a sensitive soul.
