PS – Arthur Clowes, end ’40. Mine early ’41.

Looks like a chap baling out!!

Procedure? Don’t recall much beyond the fact that the drogue was laid out along the runway before take off – not having a winch.

Ah, GCHQ – thanks. Was looking at it on Google Map.

More diversion – Wife recalls a Sergeant from her Battery attempting a rescue from a ditched aircraft.

While you’re searching spare parts, a little sentimental background?

Recuperating with grandparents in Bude in August 1940, managed to get airborne in a Henley, towing for the AA guns on Cleeve Camp to the north.

It was not until after our marriage in 1948 that I learned from my Wife that she had been a driver for that Battery. All those years missed!!

Been there, done it?

But you haven’t served with them twice, Tony?

And isn’t there something about a/c types? I’m not fully conversant with the niceties.

PS – much pleased!!
