My father joined when he ditched a Botha in the Channel in 1942. 3 hours in a dinghy before the boat got to them.

I went to a talk a few years ago by a chap who’d flown Stirlings during WW2, he ditched in the North Sea on the way back from a raid, he & his crew spent 3 days in their dinghy before being rescued. He was given a 48 hr leave pass to recover before returning to flying, less time than he’d spent ‘bobbin’ in the oggin’.
