Thanks, BB, for dotting some i's for us. So it was a squadron, but unnamed or numbered, and commanded by a Flt Lt, and about to be split into three (flights?) attached to three Army Corps. Curiouser and curiouser indeed! Admittedly this operation seems to be more in keeping with the AAC, which perhaps was more the model they were following. In which case these pilots perhaps shared some of the cultural experiences of those transferred to the Glider Pilot Regiment, but at least they were flying!
Presumably he now had some ground crew to keep these admittedly basic aircraft serviceable and airworthy. Hopefully we will learn more of that soon.
Let us now bid them Bon Voyage as they set out into a very uncertain future...
Oh, added PS to assure Danny that no-one is being chastened, least of all him! I was simply acknowledging the limitations that BB is operating under in relating JD's story for him. Your inputs are as vital and informative as always, Danny. Please keep crossing the t's and if BB dots the i's we shall all end up the wiser!
