After a session of
blind flying in a Harvard on the 8th, during which he ‘was lousy as usual’ Ken
Holland was in the air again practising formation flying on 9 August 1940. Things didn’t go as
planned as the other pilot managed to get them lost. He landed at New Yeovil to
work out how to get home again while Ken circled above. Ken was enjoying his
training but did not like night flying in fact, it was ‘always something to
avoid’. Even so, he was able to put up with it because ‘I like these Spitfires’.
Happily, he was not scheduled for night flying on the 9th, so was off to the
flicks at Stroud.
