Flight Lieutenant Pete Brothers is greeted by his bull terrier
“Merlin” on returning to RAF Biggin Hill. He is being
questioned by the intelligence officer about the intense air
battle that has just taken place high over Southern England.
Meanwhile the ground crews are diligently working to prepare
the Hurricanes of 32 Squadron for the next sortie, which will
take place later that day.
Pete's 1928 Bentley sits at dispersal with a sign in the windscreen
Air Defence Priority which Wing Commander Crossley Officer Commanding
32 Squadron had all the pilots display in their cars so they
would not be held up in road blocks that surrounded Biggin Hill,
should the urgent call come through to get to the Airfield immediately
to scramble.
Signed by Air Commodore Pete Brothers CBE DSO DFC,
Wing Commander Jack Rose CMG MBE DFC and Group Captain John White. |
