S/L MA Ensor DSO DFC
A smashing old friend of the family, Cameron Hanbury, flew as a sergeant co-pilot to Ensor on Liberators in the war. One night, they wre dropping ordnance in a French harbour(Brest, Cherbourg?). I think it was mines.
He said that it was the most terrifying few minutes he had until then lived through: even when he told me, he said he could not then believe they survived wothout a hit.
On the trip home, Ensor said, "Wereyou scared then Taff?" Cameron said, "I thought I was going to **** myself Sir."
Ensor: Good. You can fly with me again. I have no time for heroes who say they weren't scared of what we just did.
They obviously survived! Wonderfully understated people.
