Pilot's Brevet in WW11
After half a mile change of address, it has taken eight weeks for AOL to get me back on the Internet.
I went to the Recruiting Office in Shrewsbury on 9th March 1942. Called to
1 A.C.R.C. at Lords 23rd November1942. 8 I.T.W. Newquay 8th January 1943' Grading School July 1943. Mauretania August 1943. Moncton to 1 B.F.T S. Terrell Texas October 1943, Wings 12th June 1944. Two years and three months!! Then, not Spitfires or Mustangs, but Gliders. Anybody interested in the R.A.F. Element of the Glider Pilot Regiment should go to Shawbury where the Trust have built a Horsa and Hadrian and also refurbished a Dakota. We were voluntary conscripts!!
