Cost of a Jumbo
There was no call for Elephants in the UK in WW2, but when my room mate left his Oxford at 6,000 feet, flying from Lyneham in 1941, he found he was presented with a “Bill” from the Instructors.
To LAC George Cooke
One Ripcord Handle 2s. 6d
One Oxford Aircraft £ 30,000..0s..0d
One Dairy Cow £ 30..0s..0d
Total £ 30,030..2s..6d
Will LAC Cooke pay cash, or have it deducted from his Pay?
Signed............................................(S/Ldr. Accounts)
Sorry about the prices; pure guess work apart, from the Rip Cord handle.
