Reference you joining the Volunteer Reserve post-war, can you clarify this, Danny? My understanding is that all new RAF pilots (and other aircrew) trained during wartime were enrolled in the RAF(VR), and wore VR lapel badges. But it sounds like you weren't. Also, why was the RAF(VR) still enrolling in 1946.. when, presumably, you had been demobbed, and the RAF was being down-sized?

Oops!... yes, you are right... well spotted.
The riots were in Handsworth, West Midlands, not Hanworth, London Borough of Hounslow. Apologies to the people of Hanworth. Commiserations with the people of Handsworth.
