Dear Lew,
Its about time you answered my letter, I suppose you have been much to [sic] busy catching the train from Banbury to Oxford and vice versa, lucky bastard, wish I had the same chance.
As you say it probably is much better that I stay where I am, I have no particular desire to stick my head out, and to be perfectly frank I am beginning to enjoy
[page break]

it here.
It took me almost a couple of weeks to get organised, but I eventually succeeded in doing so and at the moment I am having a wizard time.
From what I can gather there is every possibility that I shall be stationed here for the duration, I was having a chat with a couple of old hands a day or so ago, they have been here for 2 years and are likely to stay for another couple, so you see, my chances of being posted are very remote indeed.
[page break]
3.
Personally I don't mind how long I stay, leave is quite good, 14 days every eight weeks, and strangely enough the train service is absolutely wizard, I can book a sleeper on the boat train at Stranraer and sleep all the way down to London, I believe it takes 14 hours to get there, but as there are no changes, and I can sleep all the way its a piece of cake.
I beleive [sic] Bert Price is coming on leave soon, if you are home and you see him, take him out on the ale, I know he would
[page break]
4.
welcome a night out on the piss, so if you called for him one night it would be the opportunity he has been waiting for.
All for now.
Cheers
Ant.

Dear Lew,
Arrived at this bloody awful place a couple of days ago, after a binding journey of 14 hours, honestly its the most horrible hole I have ever met up with, and I am doing my utmost to obtain a posting.
About this transfer, I have made a few enquiries and nobody knows sweet fanny adams about the necessary forms etc., so if you could let me know the
[page break]
number of them, I could get cracking, but from what I can gather the chances of it coming off are very remote, you see I have never been to an O.T.U. therefore it is very improbable that they will consider me becoming an Instructor at one. At the moment I am supposed to be instructing on 'wireless', which consists of flying with the pupils, and helping them to become familiar with general working conditions in the air, also I shall probably be called upon to do some ground instructing, if
[page break]
you think I can do the same job or something similar at your station, then there is a definate [sic] possibility of my transfer becoming effective, if not, then I shall have to 'gen' up on Gunnery and see what can be done in that respect.
When you are home again, you might ask our ‘Ma’ to forward on the R.A.F. slacks I left at home, I intended the 'Old Man' having some which were at the bottom of my kitbag, and when I have the ones I left at home, I can forward the other
[page break]
ones on, don't forget, because I have to walk about all day in my best bags, and I want to save them as much as possible.
If I have the misfortune to stay here more than a couple of months I may be having some leave, at the moment it is booked from Dec. 3rd to Dec. 17th, which as you can see just misses Christmas, I have tried to get it changed, but as you know, a new arrival can't do much, nevertheless I am doing my best, and in the long run may be able
[page break]
to do something
All for now.
Cheers Ant.
[underlined] P.S. [/underlined]
No idea of your address, shall have to forward to the 'old homestead.'

My Dear Vic,
I have been meaning to write to you for sometime now, to let you know what I am doing etc. The Mosquito idea fell through and I am about to join a P.F.F. squadron in case you want to do the same I thought Id let you know that I can arrange it, most probably, but its not everybody's idea of fun and I won't try to sell the scheme to you as I don't know much about it myself yet.
I don't know what station I'll be at yet but you can write to me at this address any time and maybe
[page break]
in a month or two I'll know more about it. The Mosquitoes are a good thing if you can get them but the lists are closed now as far as I can gather and I think its almost impossible to get on them. If perchance you should get posted to a main force squadron I strongly advise you to make for P.F.F. right away and thats where I might come in useful. If theres no compulsion I'd advise you to stay where you are for the time being.
I hope Pam is well and that your new abode is satisfactory. I shall be looking you up one of these days, when I get down Oxford way again.
Love to Pam,
All the best,
Cheerio,
Johnny.

Dear Vic,
Sory [sic] I have [inserted] not [/inserted] written you before but I am not any [indecipherable word] at this letter writing game and besides we have been doing a lot of flying, and hunting snatch in my spare time.
I hope the ankle is better now and that you can get around. It must have been an awful handicap, [indecipherable word] on a bed, but I hope you managed to cope and drag yourself on and not waste a minute of the twenty five years that are left.
[page break]
We are at a lovely station and having quite a good time. I like the work very much and have quite a good bunch of fellows to fly with. It is a darn good outfit and I am sure glad I came. We should have been [inserted] here [/inserted] weeks ago but some body at Chippy had finger trouble and we were very late getting here. It made us quite mad especially when we think of missing the good times we have here.
I wrote Peter a quite [?] ago but did not get a reply. Can you tell me what he is doing & whether he got the letter.
[page break]
3.
There wasn't much to write about what we are doing but we have a lot of fun, and do very well in town as there is an abundance of that stuff than stuffs and we manage to do our share. Hope to get down to see you sometime but don’t know when.
I will finish this now but expect to write soon again. Write and let me know how things are going and how you are getting on. (Right leg over first)
Your pal

Dear Lew,
What the fucking hell has gone wrong with you, you son of a slant eyed chinese whore, your [sic] worse than a spare prick at a wedding and probably just about as useless.
I suppose by now you have received my reply to your last letter, just in case you didn't, in which case I humbly apologise for
[page break]

what I have written above, I will repeat the details.
I was unable to have any leave changed from Feb 28th sorry, but thats the way it is, if you have nothing better to do on the morning of the 26th maybe you could be at the L.M.S. station about 10.30 a.m. I should arrive by then, if anything a little earlier. Maurice Varny will be home approximately the same time as us, so we shall have a nice drinking school.
Nothing more,
Cheers,
Ant.

Thursday,
Dear Lew,
Many thanks for your letter, repeat letter, I am extremely sorry I am unable to acknowledge any more, because of the most elementary reason, I haven't received them, lost in the post I suppose, or they weren't even posted.
I find it difficult to answer your letter because although it contained a couple of pages the whole of it could be condensed into a single line, but still I will do my best, maybe I can at least put up a better show then you.
Regards leave, I shall be commencing my usual fourteen days leave on September 10th (approx: four weeks time} and if you could possibly arrange yours to coincide I am sure we could have a most enjoyable time, providing of course that Pam will let you have your
[page break]
own way occasionally.
[two indecipherable words] wrote and told me that you and Ted spent quite a few days together recently, I'll bet you had a grand time, bags of ale and politics, don't forget to give me all the gen when I see you again, incidentally I believe Ted has a couple of evacuees, are they any good?
Nothing more,
See you soon,
Cheers,
Ant.
[underlined] P.S. [/underlined] If you can arrange your leave to coincide please write and let me know, and in the meantime start saving a few coppers
A.
