Old Comrades
Dahny, First things first. You'd have my lovely daughter in tears to know that you're up in the middle of the British night studying PPrune posts! At home here it is now 1440 hrs Thursday 3 December. My post has been open about 2 hours, so you were up and about from 0130 hrs at your home. I hope you're keeping warm, and please look after yourself.
I can't remember where our classrooms were. I'm still trying hard to fit a certain Danny-for-real into the scenery. I'm convinced we were close. Did you spot "Highbury" as the dormtory hotel?
Another sad part of my war story included the loss of my log book, so I don't have a precise record of my flying hours to Wings presentation. When I flew with the RAFVR after the war, I caulculated that it was 60 on Magisters and 135 on Oxfords, a total of 195 of dual and solo.
Other wartime hours were 75 on Blenheims, 350 on Beaufighters.
