Ball was unusual, quite young, he may have been National Service.
We also had a Flt Lt Murkowski. I did the low level navel with him. He stressed that we were NOT permitted to do aeros in the Meteor as we looped and rolled over Suffolk. Ball OTOH made no such statement. Before we recovered he asked me where Stradishall was. Easy, down on the left. There were five airfields down there.
