Ken
Holland was burning the candle at both ends. After turning in at 1.00 a.m. he
was back at 152 Squadron's dispersal at 5.00 a.m. on 13 September 1940. He hit upon a scheme (other than getting
home early) to catch as much sleep as possible: ‘Think I will take to sleeping
in the dispersal hut – it means getting an almost uninterrupted sleep instead
of sleeping and waking by numbers as it were’.
It was another day of ‘minor flaps’. Ken
scrambled as Green 2 for a patrol over Portland but it was of
such little import it was not recorded in the 152 Squadron ORB. After he
was released he was off to Weymouth again to visit friends for a chat and some
drinks at nearby pub. He must have been tired as he made an early night of it,
turning in at midnight!
