Weekend leave until midday Monday 11th March. I attended petty sessions in Salisbury on Monday morning having been summoned for parking - shot a big lie and got the case dismissed with costs! (4/-). Drove straight back to work afterwards. Met S.J.E Huxley in Salisbury.
Second "course" from the pool under C.G.I starts today we are a little behind on the previous bunch of pupils "Courses" seen an improvement as pupils arriving in twos and threes continually. The new course included wireless operators and we now split them into three and each flight trains pilots, observers and wireless operators.
No.52 Squadron were night flying that evening and prior to starting S/Ldr Simmonds had all their pupils up and lectured them on procedure etc. finishing up with the remark "make it go with a swing tonight"! It did, he was actually night flying himself and landed fair and square right on the "Chance" light! He was unhurt. The password into camp that night (previously arranged) was "Beacon" !!
The newspaper did seem to make rather a mountain out of a molehill over this one!! All this for one parking fine!
