202 AFS, Valley.

26er,

You have me bang to rights ! It just shows how fallible memories can be ! I must now cudgel my brains even harder than before, but perhaps you could help me to get the record straight.

You started on No. 7 Course on 2nd July. As the Course was 3 months long, if we knew how the Courses overlapped, we could work back to the start date.

Was there any "folk memory" of the B-50s from any of the earlier Courses ? If so, we may be able to put them in the time frame, too.

We had our Mess and Nissen billets on the top of the little hillock to the North of the airfield. Surely you couldn't have been in there with us - there wasn't room, for a start ? Where were your accommodations and your Mess ?

You mention a Flt Lt Wallace. I have very recently been e-mailed by a Mr David Watkins, who is researching 202AFS, 20 Sqdn. and Valley. I've advised him to follow this Thread - he may get in touch with you via PPRuNe.

How could you have been with us for so long and I not remember !

Standing in corner wearing Dunce's Cap, Cheers, Danny.
