Above Taxi-Anson at White Waltham, September 1942. The woman pilot is Ann Wood (USA), although she appears camera-shy. Our parachutes weighed 40 lb. (Flight)

Left Our aircraft chits: (top) one of Third Officer Ruth Kerly’s chits for a Grumman Wildcat, and (bottom) my P.l.W. chit to fly a Lysander to Elstree.

Above right Getting my hands on a Hurricane was a huge step forward (the Spitfire soon followed). (IWM)

Right lan Fenwick did these cartoons of us at Hamble in 1943; he was later killed in Italy. The first one refers to the 2/edfine if one taxied in with flaps down, the other highlights our main drink – hot orangeade!
