I found this web site, it has a huge amount of information regarding Barrage Balloons. Everything you ever wanted to know and more, including cable cutters. It made me realise what a huge contribution was made by the people in this organisation especially during WW2.

That is an interesting site giving a wealth of information on a little known subjest.
As an aside about a third the way down the index my fathers service is given (Frank Verney)
And as another aside, on passing the scholarship, I went to school in 1943 to the Simon Langton school in Canterbury, there we had a barrage balloon stationed in the playground.
