A humorous excerpt from the unpublished memoirs of F/Lt James Taylor “Robbie” ROBSON –

It had no armament so the P.R. pilot relied on ‘keeping his eyes open’. He did carry a large knife down his flying boot in case enemy action or equipment failure caused his seat pack dinghy to inflate. Then it was a quick puncture of the dinghy to prevent being squashed upwards in the cockpit. This was a worry to me as I can’t swim and hoped I hadn’t to ‘ditch’ if I had ruined my dinghy! 🙂

I kept thinking of Robbie while watching this excellent programme.
