John Crossman’s R/T
course at Uxbridge was over and he returned to Biggin Hill. While he was away,
‘our chaps were the six that fought 80 Huns and got seven of them’. Sadly, 32
Squadron had not come off unscathed, losing Sub Lieutenant Bulmer, ‘a very
decent young chap from FAA serving with us’. Another was shot down and
recovering in hospital and the CO gained ‘a few cuts in the face and a black
eye when he crashed’.
John was proud of his new friends and hoped that soon join them in battle. Until then, however, he was
duty pilot, controlling the night flying and in charge of laying out the flare
path.
