I gain another 6d so ive [sic] really nothing much to lose even if I do pass out 2. – to pass out A/C.1 you’ve got to average 60% on all your exams. Ive [sic] kicked of [sic] O.K, by the way Ma, I’ve already
[page break]
stopped half my allotment to you, but I’ll have to send you half by postal order so that will be alright I suppose.
I’ve also got a chance if I pass out with high marks of getting on to a fitter II Airframe course, that’s a group 1 trade only 3d per day from flight rigger but [deleted] its [/deleted] better prospects of promotion
Well I’ll knock off now as Ive [sic] 8 pages of notes to write up & 5 diagrams to do.
Your Loving Son L.
