Dear Sir, If it is at all within your power, I should be greatly obliged if you could supply me with two dozen of your Merlin 20, 22, 28 and 38 fuel computers for us by the Flight Engineers of this Squadron. I fully realise that the supply of theses is very limited, and replacement therefore very difficult, but the present work of this Squadron entails strict watch on fuel consumption, which cannot be done by using the present cardboard computers or fuel gauges, as their accuracy to a small degree is very poor. If it is all possible to obtain theses, I shall be very grateful indeed. Yours GLC Wing Commander, [underlined] Commanding, 617 Squadron. [/underlined] The Manager, Instructional Dept., Messers.

Dear I am sorry to trouble you but when the Squadron arrived at Coningsby they brought with them 20 electro plated tankards which were inscribed “617 Squadron Lancasters”. They were presented by the manufacturers of the aircraft after the Dam raid and have considerable sentimental value. When we finally counted them up prior to leaving Coningsby for Woodhall, it was found there were only 15, and I would very much appreciate it if you could take action from your end.

Transcription Text transcribed from audio recording or document [Air Ministry Crest] Royal Air Force Station Coningsby, Lincoln. 26th November, 1943. Ref:- Dear Cheshire, Confirming our conversations, it is agreed that you will have your Squadron Working Parade independently after next Monday – the parade being held in Squadron formation on the tarmac between your Squadron Offices and Hangers at 07.50 hours. Occasional variations of time may be necessary to fit in with your Squadron arrangements and on Sundays, when operational commitments permit, work will not start until 09.30 hours. I should like at least three Officers to be present on parade each day, one Squadron Leader or Flight Lieutenant to act as Officers in charge of the Parade, and two Flying Officers or Pilot Officers. With regards to the question of passes for airmen, what was intended was that Flight Commanders should be given to understand that I and airman asks on a particular occasion to have his pass extended from 23.59 hours this might be done up to 08.00 hours the following day, the appropriate time being entered on the pass. I do not, however, want all passes automatically treated as valid up to 08.00 hours. I realise that the original mistakes were made without your knowledge and that noe they have been put right.
