savimosh01,
Flew with a Sgt Payne (Tom?) on 10 January, 26 April, 6 and 8 May '43 (all training sorties).
...John Topley told me his father wrote in his log book about diverting to and landing at Silchar with an "eggcup of petrol" to spare...
Bit of a puzzle here. Diverting from where ? Silchar
is Khumbirgram and 110 were based there then:
...Silchar Airport, Kumbhirgram - Wikimapia
Silchar Airport, Kumbhirgram Silchar Airport is a Civil Enclave within the Indian Air Force Station/Base at Kumbhirgram...
Don't think there was an airstrip at Silchar town (12-14 mi). It was our railhead.
