Australia's Few. 13 September 1940

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!
