Example text
Once we were in the air we received a request to make a detour well south of our designated track, to search for possible survivors of a torpedoed ship, but we made no sightings. 30 hours. It was mainly overcast and very humid, but we found our mess accommodation to be comfortable. We learned that Takoradi was the assembly point for Hurricanes being ferried to Egypt and the Middle East. The usual formation was 15–20 Hurricanes led by a Blenheim mother aircraft, which carried a navigator. The next day (Day 11) was a rest day in Takoradi, when we took a local bus for an outing to the nearest town, Sekonde.
On this last leg of the journey I flew into a khamsin (sandstorm). The desert sands are lifted by gale-force winds to heights of 10,000 feet. It gives you the impression of being just above the ground temporarily raised to 10,000 feet. In the poor visibility once again I became separated from the rest of the flight. I climbed above the sandy murk to work out a plan, knowing that I required sufficient fuel to make a precautionary landing if necessary. With this in mind I decided that the best course was to try to land while I still had petrol in hand.
There we met some old Aussie mates with 200 Squadron. We put on our issued mosquito boots as malaria, scrub typhoid and other tropical diseases are endemic. Days 3–10: Bathurst On checking the aircraft compass we found it not working. With no spares available, we had to wait for a replacement from Gibraltar. We were allocated a batman, a young local boy named Lanning, who cooked breakfast for us, shone our shoes, made beds, prepared our bush showers etc. Seeing me in shorts, the Medical Officer told me to change out of my shorts into slacks, even though I had none with me, or he would put me on a charge.
