St Eval.
There was a bunch of pilots attached to 10 OTU who were destined for Coastal Command, and they flew as second pilots with the Whitley crews. They were listed second on the crew list. I flew one 'op' with a Sgt Watkins, one with P/O Chilton, one with P/O Davy and two with P/O Read. On two ten hour trips there was no second pilot available. On one of these "George" failed soon after take-off; we encountered the worst possible weather, and lost an engine on return. I slept for 20 hours and missed my day-off! fredjhh
