Pilot training in UK, WW2

Well Done, Reg! I would love to have been with you.
I never saw the CGI again and I do not know his name, but it was rumoured that he had been one of the worst type of Public School masters, and he was in his element with his elevated rank. Having left SFTS without a commission you had to remain an NCO, in those days, until you had finished a tour of "Ops". BUT, some weeks after leaving Rissington, two of my fellow sergeants were commissioned, both ex-public school, and one the son of a very well known Amateur Golf champion. They were not on the original list and they did not come onto Bomber Command.
