This could turn out to be a long thread :).

I see it from the point that collectively we have a lot of stuff that never sees the light of day and I’m delighted if I can contribute to the wider knowledge base. I found that the photo slot didn’t seem to generate the same interest as the Historic one does.

The photo appended shows how Jack stretched out the trailing aerial to w/t base. The other photo is Jack soldering the radiator. the snap was taken by an arab auxilliary. He remarked how quickly the local populace turned out in an ’empty’ desert. The Moore Brabazon was the CO. The letter is Vivian Brown, all beautifully written in a flying DH 9a.
