After a most miserable two weeks in a Rest Home, to give my family a much needed rest from me, I am back home. While away my grandson, in addition to working his vacation, has found my old diaries and 'photos and produced them in a very professional form as a book.
Please do not ask for copies. Names I mention may still be alive! It is strictly for my family.
It starts at ITW at Torquay at the same time as RegLe, CliffNemo, Andy42c and (dare I mention it?) Marshal of the RAF Mike Beetham were also awaiting posting for flying training. Apparently I was the only one chosen NOT to go on the Arnold Scheme, so I was trained in the UK and the cause of my initial search. What a joy it has been.
My war ended abruptly in June 1943 when I was shot down and started a new career as a Prisoner of War.
I did fly after the war, - Oxfords and Wellingtons - , but only briefly. I knew that my colour blindness would catch me up.
Keep up the good work.
