14th January 1941.
My Dearest Mother,
Since I last wrote I have received a letter a newspaper and a parcel of [deleted] sweets [/deleted] chocolate and cigarettes also a pair of socks. Thank you very much for them all. Am glad to hear that you are all very fit and happy.
Am very glad to say that I have at last been posted [deleted] [indecipherable letters] [/deleted] to a flying school. We left Paignton last Tuesday, a week ago today, and arrived here the following morning. We are now stationed at 4 E.F.T.S. Brough which is fairly near Hull. It is very nice here and the conditions are far better than any of the other places I have been in so far. The town is very small and there are no entertainments at all so for anything after that nature we have to go Hull which costs about 1/8 return on the train
[page break]
[underlined] 2 [/underlined]
However we are kept more busy here than at Paignton and to pass the exams one has to do an awful lot of private study apart from the recognised lectures. We have lectures all morning and weather permitting, we fly in the afternoon. Up to now have done 2 1/2 hours, which is all dual, just learning the various manoeuvres etc, but the instructor is always there to check up and show you how it should be done. The weather is not too good for flying just now so consequently we cannot get in much which is disappointing as it is just fine flying around. The instructors are very nice and help you all they can.
We have a very nice lounge and separate writing room nicely furnished. We have tablecloths again, cups and saucers instead of mugs, and last but not least by a long way, we have butter jam and [deleted] should [/deleted] sugar on the table
[page break]
[underlined] 3 [/underlined]
which is very good, considering the position. There [deleted] are [/deleted] [inserted] is [/inserted] also a mess where we can get beer and soft drinks so generally speaking we are living like gentlemen. It will be a bit of a blow to go back to the old state if I fail. We have to average well over 60% on all subjects so it will take a bit of work.
Had a letter from Aunt Ella the other day and glad to say they are all well. Uncle Jack has not been so fit but she says it’s probably just the cold weather.
Received a telegram from Harry on the 12th wishing me a Happy New Year. Rather late but still better late than never.
There was a bit of snow here last evening but that is much better than frost as the latter seems about 3 times as cold. We sleep out every second night in an old Sunday school building so that in the event of a lot of air raids we can

get a decent nights sleep, but nothing like that has happened so far.
Well dear Mother I must close now with very much love to you all.
from your loving son
Donald.

My dear Douglas.
It was a very great joy to us to have your cable on Saturday evening. It has made a marvellous journey, sent from Laghouat 10-30 Nov 29th & arrived here same day at 6-50 p.m. It meant a very happy weekend for us, as we were becoming increasingly anxious at the lack of news. We have not had a letter from you for ten weeks last Saturday but of course we do understand that owing to disturbed conditions the mails will be disorganized & we are thankful indeed for the few reassuring words from the precious cables. We were both very deeply moved by your message on Saturday. Thank you so much, love, for offering us a radiogram as Christmas gift. We should not think of buying one when you are not able to share the pleasure with us, but one day perhaps we can choose one together. This old one only needs a very little attention, you remember how it used to make a terrific noise, something wrong with the transformer wasn’t it, well it does the same now. Sometimes it is really good & then when it is nicely
[page break]
warmed up the noise begins & we have to switch off. I’ve told you in previous letters that we now enjoy the [deleted] reply [/deleted] [inserted] relay [/inserted] service for a charge of 1/- week. We have a speaker which we can take from one room to the other & spend a lot of time listening in. Dad seems better again now & yesterday he did a bit of deep digging in the garden in preparation for the apple tree which we expect to receive anytime now.
I had a nice surprise this morning a cheque for £2/2/- from Grandad. You remember the fur coat he gave me some years ago. Well I’ve had it altered for this winter & the cheque was to pay for it. Doing well aren’t I especially after the gift of £2 to buy a handbag when Grandad was here in September. Well love I’ve got about 40 Christmas cards to send to our various friends including Hildred & Vera but I suggested to Dad this morning that they might both be away now. Dad thought Hildred would be all right in her reserved occupation but was doubtful about Vera. Well love I will away to the post now. I wonder if you might get this before Xmas. Here’s hoping & thank you so much love for all your kind thoughts for us & for your wishes. You know how lovingly we reciprocate both. With all our love & thoughts & prayers & Happy Christmas from Mother & Dad.

Reg ‘Jimmy’ Woolgar was born and schooled in Hove. He began working life as a valuations assistant and was training to be a surveyor, which was interrupted when, in December 1939, he joined the RAF. Although he had aspirations to become a pilot, he trained as a wireless operator/air gunner instead. His wireless operator training was carried out at the wireless training school, RAF Yatesbury. https://ibccdigitalarchive.lincoln.ac.uk/omeka/files/original/87/849/PWoolgarRLA1609.2.jpg His air gunnery training on Fairy Battle aircraft was conducted at RAF West Freugh. On 15 November 1940 he was promoted to sergeant and posted to No 10 OTU at RAF Upper Heyford. https://ibccdigitalarchive.lincoln.ac.uk/omeka/files/original/87/845/PWoolgarRLA1601.2.jpg Initially flying Anson aircraft and then Hampdens with C Flight, he had his first ‘Lucky Jim’ moment, on 6 February 1941, when his Hampden aircraft was forced to crash land in a field near Cottesmore, in Lincolnshire. The aircraft was written off, but he and the pilot survived with minor injuries. At the end of operational training, instead of going directly onto operasations, he spent the next 5 months as a screen operator instructor. Eventually, on 1 September 1941, he was posted to 49 Squadron, Hampdens, at RAF Scampton https://ibccdigitalarchive.lincoln.ac.uk/omeka/collections/document/852 where his very first operational trip (described as a baptism of fire) was to Berlin. With headwinds going out and coming back, and nil visibility, it was likely the crew would have to bail out. Fortunately, the skipper found a break in the clouds and the aircraft landed wheels down in a field near Louth. The aircraft had to be recovered back to base, transported by road, on a low loader. On another occasion, on a mine laying operation to Oslo Fjord, his aircraft was peppered with anti-aircraft fire, it returned to base with 36 bullet holes in the fuselage and mainplane. A bullet had also passed through the upright of his gun sight while he was looking through it, whilst another tore through his flying suit. The nickname ‘Lucky Jim’ was beginning to stick.
In February 1942, on an operation to Manheim, the port engine, hit by flak, cut dead. Despite jettisoning all superfluous weight, which unfortunately included all the navigation equipment, the aircraft rapidly lost height, and the pilot ditched the aircraft in the English Channel. Whilst the crew had struggled to keep the aircraft airborne, (on a single engine), it had steered on a massive curve and unbeknown to them was headed down the English Channel, before it ditched. The crew scrambled out onto the wing and managed to inflate the dingy, then had to cut the cord attaching the dingy to the aircraft using a pair of nail scissors, moments before it sunk. In the water for hours, the crew thought they were drifting near the Yorkshire coast, but were rescued by a motor anti-submarine boat, much to their surprise, near the Isle of Wight.
Operational flying was intense, Reg would feel wound up before take-off and there was much apprehension on the way out to the target. Often, they flew through intense flak that was sometimes so close they could smell it. There was always a sense of sense of relief once they came away from the target. In between operations, each day was treated as it came along with many off-duty hours spent socialising in the local hostelries https://ibccdigitalarchive.lincoln.ac.uk/omeka/collections/document/853
After his first operational tour (he completed two) he was commissioned and became gunnery leader with 192 Squadron in 100 Group.
After the war ended, he signed on for an extra two years and was posted to Palestine as an air movements staff officer. Luck was again on his side when, one day, he was on his way to an Air Priorities Board Meeting at the King David Hotel when the hotel was bombed, resulting in many army and civilian casualties.
After a short tour in Kenya, as Senior Movements Staff Officer, he returned to Palestine flying with 38 Squadron until August 1947. In his flying career he amassed over 1000 flying hours. For services to his country Reg was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross https://ibccdigitalarchive.lincoln.ac.uk/omeka/collections/document/858
He was released from the RAF in September 1947. Initially employed as an assistant valuations officer, he studied to become a Chartered Surveyor and secured a job as a senior valuer with the City of London. He later became the planning valuer of the city. After 14 years he was made a partner at the firm St Quintin Son and Stanley. Reg retired in 1971.
