#1 We had arrived at Rednal, No. 61 O. T. U. We were soon to be pilots under training at the R. A. F. college at Cranwell, dragging around manuals on navigation and armaments.
#2 My instructor let me fly a Spitfire for 60 minutes. I was terrified, but I remember feeling how light the plane was on the controls.
#3 I had flown a Spitfire, and it was beautiful. I felt alive. I dreamt of the day when I would have a Spitfire of my own, to take into combat, which would hold my life within the confines of its cockpit.
#4 The final three weeks of training were at Montford Bridge, a small satellite airfield lost in the hills. We flew constantly, and the cold was extremely harsh. We lived in Nissen huts that had no insulating walls, and keeping warm was a constant struggle. New Year’s Eve was quiet and slightly sad.
