The End

Octavian,

Peter Brannan was another on Course 25 at Clewiston, he fell ill and was put onto Course 26, they of course, never qualified, but, certainly training continued after VJ day. The 201 cadets of courses 25 and 26 were all denied their wings by the cessation of hostilities. As I have reported here before, I have a quote from one of the R.A.F. Officers in charge at the time, "My, my," he said, "now you are redundant. What in the world will we do with you?"
I am sure all here can imagine their devastation.
