Australia's Few. 22 September 1940

Ken Holland was resilient and by the morning of 22 September had bounced back from his ticking off. Nothing dented his natural enthusiasm for long. There was no flying for him (although ‘Deanesley and Bayles [were] shot up by a Ju 88 which got away’) so he had a ‘sleepy day’. As he lolled around, there was ‘bags of panic in the afternoon about invasion’ but he did not take it seriously. He had plans to go into Weymouth for a few quiet drinks with friends. As had happened so often before, Ken’s outing turned into a late night (sorry, early morning) drinking session and he turned in at 2.00 a.m.
