The winter of 1941 is remembered well by Geoffrey Wellum,
pilot of Spitfire ‘G’ for George. Bitter cold and heavy
snow during this period made flying conditions almost unbearable.
The ground-crew’s job at RAF Manston, never easy at the
best of times, involved working in all weathers to keep the aircraft
in a state of readiness for the pilots to return to the battle
at the earliest opportunity.
