The following handwritten notes have been added:  23.3.44. If you look at my logbook for this date, you’ll see that some hard rubbing has taken place in the line. I believe this showed when I received a ‘Red Endorsement’. Now if you look at the back of this logbook, you’ll find a ‘Green Endorsement’ - & at the time I received it, the ‘Red Endorsement’ was ripped out (& at the time, I resented this because I was rather proud of the red one). About 1949, all red endorsements were cancelled & the person (presumably) who issued the Green, had ripped out the Red. The Red said something like: “he overtook & passed another aircraft (both aircraft where [sic] Oxfords!) on the perimeter track”. The pilot of the other aircraft had been the C.F.I. – an overtaking without a crash, was an impossibility. To have said ‘cut him out’, might have been nearer the truth.

[/underlined] Whilst flying as instructor on night circuits and landings F/O Cuthill ordered his pupil to carry out a practice overshoot at 300 [feet?]. On opening up, smoke and flame came from starboard engine F/0 Cuthill immediately took over, feathered the engine & carried out a single engine circuit & landing. The aircraft lost hight [sic] to 150 ft. because the flaps were slow in coming up but in spite of this F/O Cuthill made a successful single engine landing with no damage to the aircraft. F/O Cuthill showed outstanding skill and airmanship in landing his aircraft under very difficult circumstances. W. R. Wills Sandford Group Captain, Commanding [underlined]R.A.F.
