dbp:text
  • I can remember him as a little boy, sort of getting in a panic over things. As a small child, he used to cry a lot... But when he got into the RAF it was incredible how he managed to control it... He found his feet in the RAF. (en)
  • He was a fair-haired chap about medium height, rather good-looking, except for one prominent tooth. The boys seemed to be always taking him off about this, but he took it very good-naturedly. He was a serious fellow at heart, though, even though he spent most of his time with the boys. As soon as I saw him I thought, 'What an ideal squadron type. I like that chap'. (en)
