It is SO stupid to expect anyone to walk in a properly fitted ‘chute.

But they did it.

Certainly cute!

No – I had not latched onto that. How exciting!!

Through the good offices of a friend, Andrew, & his great patience & deep pocket, I have now been able to put right my flight times from 1940. It has always bugged me to believe that they were incomplete or ‘falsified’.

Have a look at the difference. Well worth researching?

The ‘whiteouts ‘ in the original are to avoid confusion.

Can’t think why I couldn’t re-locate my post this am before any of you were up. I wrote it after 3 Scotches & wished to withdraw it. Bad comparisons to boot.

But, speaking soberly & without sentiment I still believe that, whatever the action, it was not a selfless attempt to save ones comrades or a just cause.

I’m sorry – when I was on fire, I got out. PDQ!! And I’m not ashamed.

Thanks – I’ll change the entry in my book!!

Motto? There is this other version!!

Berry? Strangely, I can’t recall either, despite his efforts on my behalf shown in my profile, for which I was unable to thank him – he was killed before I left Hospital. I probably called him Sir!! Nice that we were recently able to contact his Daugher & Granddaughter after all these years.
