“Well I got to the end and I was standing there looking out at the jungle,
just pure jungle as we were flying along and I turned round and the harness has unclipped. I was standing at the back of the Beverley with nothing holding me in.”
“When we got to the docks there was this massive great
troopship, the Empire Fowey and believe me, life on board
a troopship is not good.”
“Jungle warfare is something I would never wish on anybody,
when you are moving at night through the jungle you image
everytime a bush moves it's an enemy.”
“RAF boys done a good job. They got us in and out
and when we did come under some heavy fire they came in
for us when we called them in”
