Many thanks Greg, that puts his stint at 2 BGS c.February-July 1941. 2 BGS was in the process of changing both it's purpose and equipment by June 1941, the Blackburn Botha having proved very unreliable. It sounds like he didn't get time to unpack his bags never mind fly a training sortie before he moved from 18 to 58 OTU
best regards
