Dear Miss Nichols,
Thank you for your letter and I am very glad you enjoyed your flight with me, though I could only give very short ones.
I expect I shall be at Old Buckenham next year when you must make yourself known to me – or perhaps you would come to this aerodrome some time for another flight.
Yours sincerely

Dear Madam,
With reference to your letter addressed to Mr. Alex Henshaw in connection with his recent Cape Flight, I have pleasure in advising you that the contents of same have been personally noted by him.
Mr. Henshaw wishes to express his regrets at the delay in acknowledging your letter, caused through the very large number of similar letters he has had to deal with, and pressure of business now necessitating his going abroad so soon after his return.
Mr. Henshaw begs to convey to you his very best thanks and sincere appreciation of your kind letter, and has pleasure in enclosing you his signed autograph herewith.
Yours faithfully,

RO/519903/8A/RFR
Dear Sir,
Receipt is acknowledged of your letter dated 12th September, 1951, regarding your enquiry on re-enlistment into regular Air Force service.
2. In this connection it is desired to draw your attention to this Office letter of even reference dated 12th September, 1950, wherein you were informed that your case had been carefully reconsidered by the Air Ministry, who decided that it was not possible to offer you further terms of service on a regular Royal Air Force engagement.
3. In view of this decision it is very much regretted but this Office is unable to offer you further regular service. As the Air Ministry decision is final, no useful purpose would be served in arranging a medical examination on your behalf.
4. This Office thanks you for the offer of your service and for your continued interest in the service, and reiterates that this rejection is solely due to service medical requirements.
Yours faithfully,
[signature]

Dear Sir,
Further to my letter dated 21st August, 1950, in connection with your application to re-join the R.A.F.
2. Your application has again been carefully considered by the Air Ministry and, whilst it is gratifying to know that you have re-settled well in civilian life, and that your health is now good, it must be stressed that there is a strong risk of your breakdown under service conditions. It is regretted, therefore, that it has not been found possible to accept the offer of your services.
3. Permit me to take this opportunity of thanking you for your offer to serve again, and to assure you that this rejection is occasioned solely by service medical requirements and that there is no adverse reflection whatever on your previous service.
Yours faithfully,

Dear Sir,
I have now been able to obtain your service documents and to consider your application to re-join the Royal Air Force as a regular Airman.
2. I see you were discharged from your period of service on medical grounds. I have therefore to refer your application to the Air Ministry for approval. I am afraid that this will result in a few days extra delay before I can give you a decision.
3. I will write to you immediately I hear from the Air Ministry.

RAFA/WEL/B(L)
My dear Sir,
Further to your letter dated the 14th September, 1948, and my reply to you dated the 21st September, I have now received further information from the Air Officer-in-Charge Records regarding your application for further service. It is stated that your case was submitted to the Air Ministry for a decision and that a reply has now been received to the effect that the question of your fitness for further service has again been given careful consideration by the Medical authorities who state that your re-enlistment is not recommended and that no useful purpose would be served by a further Medical Board. The reply continues that in the circumstances it is very much regretted that approval cannot be given for your re-enlistment in the Royal Air Force.
Whilst fully appreciating your desire in this respect, I regret I am unable to assist you further.
With best wishes,
Yours sincerely,

Mum will forward your letters to me
Dave.
Will send address later or write to mum.
My own darling Dad,
I have lots to tell you. Sorry I did not write before but I just did not have the time. Ronnie and I came down to Ipswich on a Thursday. We went to the farms about 3 ½ miles out then found digs in Ipswich for 25s a week all found. The house we are staying in (our digs) and we are leaving in the morning, is the house of two [indecipherable word] Lancashire people and they have treated us royally. We started work on Tuesday morning, getting up at 5.0 a.m. and stopping at 6.0 p.m. – 10 hrs including lunch etc. We were dead beat when we got back. The job is picking fruit and our backs were terrible. It was worse the next day. After five days we got used to it. Lots of fresh air, a good healthy life and we are looking sunburnt and very well. There is one snag. This farmer
[page break]
sweats his labour and in spite of all that work we only made 28/9. Not even enough for our lodgings. The workmen were very discontented and quite rightly, to slog 50 or 60 hrs a week then to get about 30 or 35s is unfair. There was a sort of strike – we kept out – then a second strike in which we took part. The farmers would not let the workmen back but would let us back. We thought this unfair and on principle stood by the labourers and sacked ourselves. That meant looking for another job. We phoned up a farm in Colchester, about 17 miles from Ipswich the one Steve is going to and we have been taken on, starting work there tomorrow, for a month or more. So it has turned out still better. Cecil my tennis partner is coming to the Colchester farm on the 27th so we ought to have some good fun. Regarding the Ipswich farm a lorry picks us up every morning and though the men and [indecipherable word] women workers are
[page break]
very [indecipherable word] poor and coarse they are good fellows. We are enjoying the experience very much, & the life is a fine healthy one. In the new farm we rough it on the farm in a shed or something. It should be good fun.
You will have been very glad to hear from mum’s cable that I had passed. Apparently all our bunch (pals) have passed also. Ronnie and I celebrated when we got the wire from Peter.
We have not had much time for pleasure but I shall just say what we have done. From Tuesday till Friday we had no time on our hands. On Saturday Ronnie and I went to a flick. On Sunday Ron and I went to Felixstowe a seaside resort close by. It is very nice. We had a good time, though we did not swim. On Monday and Tuesday we worked. On Wednesday there was the strike so we went to Felixstowe. Four of us went. We
[page break]
went swimming. [indecipherable word] It is one of the best bathing places in England. We had a very nice day. Now just as a little romance (entirely flippant) has come along we have to leave Ipswich. Still we sacked ourselves firstly on the principle involved and secondly in the little money we were making – though this was Sunday for the farmer was ready to meet us [indecipherable word] but not the labourers. Well we shall probably see them at Felixstowe. We have had no time or energy for tennis or anything like that. We have had very funny weather. Very heavy rain and [deleted] fine & [/deleted] a good bit of sun at intervals. More of the sun though, and we are both looking very sunburned i.e. Ronnie and I. No more today. God bless and keep you and bring you back safely to us. With lots of love and kisses from
Your loving son
[underlined] David. [/underlined]
