Hi

I had a chat with Dad last night ref a few questions Danny had posed..

1. As far as American students on courses went there were none on his course - No12 at Terrell - he thinks that there were a few on later courses but not in significant numbers. All the instructors were American though and I believe were "civilians" initially to get round neutrality rules.

2. He is checking his log book to see how many hours he did on the Stearman and then the Harvard.

3. He had a camera with him in Terrell and has lent the original Album to the museum in Terrell - he has a copy and next time I visit I will try and scan some of the Pics as they show not only the flying side but also the social side of life in Terrell.

4. I may have missed it Danny but where did you do your BFTS in the USA as Dad is interested.

5. If any Ppruners know/are ex Terrell Dad would love to know.

next instalment of Dad's experiences to follow shortly!
