National Service Pilot

Thanks for your reply.
When I was in Canada (in 1953/4) I wrote a number of letters to my dad and mum describing your amazing country and what I was trying to do there while attached to the Royal Canadian Air Force.
I’ve started typing out these hand-written letters in preparation for my third book, which will describe my National Service – including the dangerous practice of stopping Canadian Pacific Railway trains on single-track lines by flying towards them at low level with the landing light of a T33 switched on (pretending to be another train on collision course). Needless to say i was too ashamed to describe this crime against the CPR to my parents.
My tearaway friend who committed the deed was killed in a car crash two years later.
