Thank you MPN11 and Danny. It is appreciated. As a taster the L5 was also used to drop the orders of the day as IV Corps advanced through the jungle in total radio silence. The aircraft advanced with the Army ,the L5 pilots dropping the orders of the day and on occasion landing in clearings behind Jap lines with personnel from 163 Force. John's arrival with his thirty aircraft was at Imphal just as it was being strafed, but more of that later.
I will try and put the tape into text as quickly as possible.
