His eldest sibling Elsie, was an accomplished secretary and typist, among other things working as a typist on Hansard recording the day’s events in Parliament. Subsequently she was working from home (a small flat), which occasionally involved manuscript work.

One of her clients was Douglas Bader, the pilot who lost both legs. She typed and prepared for publication the manuscript for “Reach for the Sky”.
