Last day off spent at home until evening when we went into Reading with Henderson and had some food before seeing a show. Work seems to be going on much as usual - lack of aircraft through maintenance, the courses seem to be better organized now, they arrive early and we now have to finish them in 28 days. This is easy on the abbreviated syllabus as long as we do not get too many nights with bad weather. All the Battles have returned from France and so pilots from the last course are hanging about here still - nobody knows what is going to happen whether they will be transferred to another type or not. A rumor was started today that we may be moved to Morecombe Lancashire, another one that we may be re-equipped with Boulton & Paul "Defiants" (Merlin III)!! Probably all baloney.
Had rather a bust up at home between the pair of us and their nurse. However things seem to have settled down better after it! Intake of observers seem to be getting worse - dumber & dumber, the last lot are dreadful.

- The reason I am writing this Blog is that I really appreciate the efforts my grandfather went to keep such a meticulous record of the events of the time. I feel very proud of him and eternally grateful for the price he and others paid for our freedom. I intend to add entries as they appear dated in his diary so look out for his first entry following the summary on January 1st
