He recounts the occasion when the aircraft engine cut out and they landed in a jungle clearing. After six months at home, he was posted to Almaza Flying Station in Cairo on C-47s. This was followed by a posting to the canal zone and 107 Maintenance Unit. Ken recalls happy times at the sailing club.
After the war, Ken remained in the RAF and did a three-month detachment to Berlin as part of the Berlin Airlift. He describes aircraft landing every three minutes and discovering a German labourer’s body in the snow. He received the Royal Victorian Medal for his work on the Queen’s Flight at RAF Benson.
