After every six ops, we got a few days leave. I forgot how much it is, three or four days, perhaps. Generally, we'd head to London or must be more than that because I went to Edinburgh a couple of times. You get a free train pass to London, or wherever you wanted to go.
We always asked for the longest destination we could. Then we could drop off anywhere along the track.

And I dived under the table next to a Wing Commander. I thought "How great". But it went off in The Strand somewhere.
