Re: Circus, Ramrods, Rhubarbs & Sweeps July 1941
1. No, Franek - another uneventful rescue sortie. The large escorts were always laid on, or so I believe, to tempt 'them' into an engagement, but again, I believe, 'they' soon realised this & failed to comply. This was a longish trip because a second Lysander (dingy dropper) had to come out to replace the first.
2. No. Except a view of the millpond at the back of the 'mess' we had while at Matlaske - Itteringham Mill - a wonderful requisitioned property. We could fish for Trout for breakfast standing on the 'balcony' at the back.
3. No! At least not between the A & B. The C with 4 Cannon was a nice change - especially since we were, at that time, involved in 'Jim Crow' shipping strikes. The big thiing about firing Cannon was to preempt the nose dropping by easing back on the 'stick'.
