Charlie was glad to have the 1939-1945 Star ribbon to go with his DFC, but wondered how they already knew the War would be over in 1945.
I don't own this space under my name. I should have leased it while I still could
Holding a pint pot not being lady like, Doris had to rely on a bit of mouth to mouth.

Not a caption .., is that a metal Eagle and Crown on the wg cdr’s right sleeve, just above his rank braid? And if so ... why?! Is he ... foreign Air Force? is it RAAF?
Meanwhile ... Julia had mixed feelings about being the Raffle prize, but was pleased the wg cdr won.

There was a gentle tearing sound ... but Jane was relieved to discover it was only the newspaper.

The CO made cunning use of the Daily Mail to conceal what his left hand was doing.

Playing Australian Rules, the CO went for an ‘up and under’, but was rebuffed.

Miranda prayed Section Officer Harvey would be along soon, as she really couldn’t cope with the whole squadron herself.

The following morning, the squadron was designated for Tiger Force. 
* From Wiki ... Good heavens, so it was! "In July, the squadron relocated to RAF Skellingthorpe, remaining there until it was disbanded in September or October 1945.[Note 1] Prior to its disbandment, it had been intended that No. 463 Squadron would form part of "Tiger Force", the British and Commonwealth contribution to the air forces allocated to attack Japan as part of Operation Downfall; however, the war in the Pacific ended before they could be deployed.[6]"

Bertie wondered if he should tell the boss that he wasn't the first thing that Doris had tickling her tonsils that night.

With the war over and the end of rationing in sight, Hector was glad to see in the future it wouldn't just be chips that came wrapped in newspaper.
