Settled in Guernsey to work in insurance and study meteorology Called up from the RAFVR in 1939 Flew extensively until late 1944 (last flight from Hendon), though not opertaionally.

Just use the search facility and they should come up.

This may sound a bit peculiar but we have moved to Pooughkeepsie within the last three years, upsetting all my "stuff" and where it was for the former 20 years. So things like this occur, perhaps due to the "FB" (female brain).

Some member of the family wrote Warneford, V.C.: she credits Win with inspiration as she followed in her footsteps both in going on the stage, and writing.

It sounds more like an Elliot White Springs saying to me! I was but a callow youth the first time I read this book and am enjoying it more this time around. Robert Loraine was a larger than life character and his story would make excellent TV fare combining as it does the theatre with the early days of aviation and the first Great War in the air.

Glad you are reading the bio. again, let me know how you like it. I would be glad to fill you in more off line!

But imagine what a thrill it would be to read it as "he was there." Lannie ------------------------------ End of CCI Digest 815 *********************
