What OTU?

Walter (and Danny)

Well, well, well, how fascinating to read of your experience, no OTU, just sent out into the world as you were. My late father has no OTU in his record of service either. After his multi-engine training at 6(P).A.F.U. Little Rissington in 1943 he was sent to Mauripur Karachi, (via Blackpool and Worli Bombay) and put to work (initially with 21 Ferry Control). Danny and I were really irritated by the omission of an OTU (his log book is meticulous apart from this one missing record), so thank you for posting that this, could, and did happen to you and others.

Happy New Year to all
