Australia's Few. 15 July 1940

John Crossman was getting his bearings at Biggin Hill. He had been sent there on his own to join 32 Squadron ‘so I feel just a little out of things at present, although they seem a decent crowd of fellows and are all about my own age.’
 
He ‘went up in a Magister this morning to give me an idea of what a monoplane is like. It is a very easy kite to fly and particularly responsive to controls’. He hoped he would not have too long to wait before he had a try of the Hurricane. But he was disappointed. Four days later he was posted to Uxbridge for a R/T course.
