28 May – 1 July 1946: 617 Squadron RAF Binbrook
October 1946: 1604870 Flying Officer B.G. Ambrose released from Service
<p>Basil George Ambrose was born on 24<sup>th</sup> June 1923 in Derby Street, Reading, the youngest of five children. He attended Wilson Road School near Reading’s football Ground. In 1937, when he was just 14 years old, he left school and took up employment as an apprentice turner at the Pulsometer. He was paid five shillings a week, half of which he had to give back to pay for his indenture training.</p>
<p>Although engineering was a reserve occupation, on 6<sup>th</sup> March 1942, he was able to join the RAF as a trainee turner. On completion of training, he passed out as a Leading Aircraftsman and was posted to RAF Sealand. Whilst there, he applied, and was accepted, for Flight Engineer training at St Athan.</p>
<p>His first ever flight was memorable in that he took the opportunity to join an old family friend (a test pilot at St Athan) who was taking a Beaufighter up for an air test. While airbourne over the Bristol Channel he witnessed a long line of merchant ships, all nose to tail as far as the eye could see, the ships were readying for the for the D Day landings.</p>
<p>On 7the June 1944, he completed his Flight Engineer training and joined the HBCU at RAF Swinderby, before moving on to the Lancaster Finishing School at RAF Syerston. In September 1944, Sergeant Ambrose and his crew, now fully trained, joined 467 Squadron (RAAF) at RAF Waddington. </p>
<p>On just his second operational flight, tasked with destroying enemy field guns in Holland, his aircraft had to drop below the cloud base at just 4000 feet. Almost immediately, the aircraft alongside them was hit by ack-ack and went down in flames. Basil’s aircraft returned safely, but the mission ended in failure.</p>
<p>Just over a fortnight later, his first ever night operation proved even more eventful, one they were all very fortunate to survive. En-route to Brunswick, a fire in the cabin set alight the blackout curtains surrounding the pilot and navigator. Basil had to use two extinguishers to put out the fire. The events caused significant delay and at their estimated time of arrival on target, they were still approximately 40 miles away. By the time they got there all the other aircraft had gone through and were on their way home. Basil’s aircraft was now completely alone over the target and although they were able to drop their bombs successfully, the aircraft was illuminated by a whole cone of search lights from the ground, plus an enemy fighter aircraft was fast coming in from the port side. The skipper took evasive action by immediately putting the aircraft into a 5000 feet dive and Basil found himself pinned to the cabin ceiling by the ‘G’ force; conversely when the aircraft pulled out of the dive, he was forced down to the cabin floor. The evasive manoeuvre was repeated one more time before they managed to lose the searchlights and the fighter. The trip home was conducted at low level without further alarm. In all, Basil and his crew went on to record thirty operations together. </p>
<p>After 467 Squadron, Basil was commissioned as a Pilot Officer and was posted to 617 Squadron in April 1945. He was never to fly operationally again although with 617 Squadron he served for a brief period in Digri, India. Basil reached the rank of Flying Officer and was demobbed in 1948.</p>
<p>Basil returned to the Pulsometer and finally qualified as a turner. After a short period working in Birmingham, he settled in Reading with his wife Jean and two children. He continued to work in engineering, eventually moving into the engineering safety field. He retired from his final position of Chief Safety Advisor for Greater London Council in 1981.<a href="https://www.getreading.co.uk/news/local-news/war-veteran-still-swing-90-4802178"></a></p>

[underlined] Quarantine & Bonded Hoses [/underlined]:-
Incoming parts & material have been greatly reduced during the last few months, and most of the work at present being handled by the stores, consists of material and partly fininshed work returned by sub-contractors on completion of orders. All material & parts entering the factory pass through Bonded & Quarantine Stores, where they are checked to advice and release notes, inspected to drawing, are given a batch number and dispersed to their relative part stores about the factory. All information relative to the material or parts is well co-related and can satisfactorily be traced back to the original release note on test report. Any batch of material or parts received without release note is quarantined untill [sic] such times as the relevant paper work is received. Colour identifaction of raw material is satisfactorily carried out to I.I.M.412. The finished part stores are generaly [sic]in a clean and tidy condition. Parts are well stacked or binned, ends of pipes etc, are blanked off and each part carries a part no: batch no and inspection stamp. A spot check taken on valve sleeves Part No. 28503/1743 was satisfactorily traced back to Release Note No 7930 on Messers Homo Ltd, Shrewsbury.[symbol]
[underlined] Despatch Hoses [/underlined]:-
Here also the amount of work has been greatly reduced during the last few months. All parts are re-inspected, well and securly tied up, with a metal backed label attached, bearing all necessary information and an inspection stamp.
Work is carried out systematically and is efficiently controlled & recorded.
Process is considered satisfactory.

Coils which could be traced [deleted] were [/deleted] had their bactch No’s [deleted] etc [/deleted] re-stamped, those which could not possibly be traced were re-batched & dated to identify them with B.T.H.
