Danny,
Digressing slightly, something I have pondered since beginning to follow this thread, what sort of news were the trainees given of what was happening back home, during their time in training. I think I for one would get the impression that trainees were expected to forget "home" and get on with learning to fly. Forgive me if I'm wrong but I would have thought that regular news regarding the home front would be a spur to young men, training to become part of the defence of democracy back then. No doubt censored letters were one thing, but I'm wondering if any formal news was ever passed to "our lads" in the colonies. I know for sure that I would want to know what was happening back home.
