    Yes, thanks Arthur.

    I am currently working on a memorial for a Belgian pilot killed in an accident in 1942. It kind of makes you think about it just that bit more – it’s easy to think of things in history, but then something happens to make you think it isn’t JUST about history, but about real people with real friends and real family.

    Randolph.

    Whelks are like big salty rubbery things. Limpets I leave for the French. I caught the lemons trying to squeeze through the gap in my fence.

    I should stay at Readiness if I were you. Red Section will be vectored onto more at Angels tomorrow, and perhaps Blue on Abgels Monday. Depends how busy work is – but I am up to August 1st now, and managed quite a lot today. I should Pancake around the end of September if I were you!

    Oh, and enjoy the diaries!

    Not you as well Nermal? Jeez.

    Photographic education is absolutely useless in professional skills these days. An HND seems to be the first of ‘useable’ value, but still isn’t of any practical use.

    You want to be a photographer? Learn business skills. Learn promotion. etc. The skill at photography is second to that if you want to eat. My business skills are crap, so I mostly work for other people. A sideline that I don’t need to rely on to pay my mortgage is far nicer to deal with. I pick and choose, do very little, and take teh equivalent of half the salary from my day job.

    And forget darkrooms; they are great fun, but the industry rarely requires film these days.

    More:

    13/7/40. Yellow Section, F/O Dundas, P/O Miller and P/O Overton were detailed to patrol convoy at 4,000 feet west of Swanage, and did not find convoy as it was not in the position given. P/O Miller observed a large number of enemy aircraft 15,000 feet above, south of Portland. F/O Dundas and P/O Miller climbed above them and attacked from the sun. F/O Dundas shot down one Me.110 with 800 rounds, then, himself attacked by 110s, broke off the engagement and landed at Warmwell. P/O Miller carried out a short inconclusive attack on Me.110s and then fired all his rounds into a Do.17, which was seen by members of 238 Squadron who were also engaged, flying out to sea with his port engine on fire and losing height rapidly. P/O Overton, whose aircraft was not performing as it should, could not gain height quickly enough, so broke away and did not engage. Engagement took place between 14.45 – 15.00 hours. (Appendix “E”)

    19/7/40. PO Dundas shot down one Me. 110 and P/O Miller shot down one Do.17 in engagement in which 238 Squadron also took part. (Appendix “H”.) (Ziegler’s note – “Confirm here. This almost certainly refers to 13/7/40. FHZ.)
