Feature Letter of September 25th, 2022
Davey, John Vernon
Well there's not a great deal of newes except I have got about two hours in 'Spits' now. I soloed first last Sat & we hadn't flown from then up till today, but we sure had a lovely day for flying quite a nice lot of scattered clouds which are my favourite pastime - diving & zooming around them & having a 'Spits' under you really makes one feel good. One of our fellows went thro' the hedge today & knocked himself out, but I think he is OK now altho' they put him in hospital. I nearly repeated it but managed to get on the grass & skid it to a stop, they sure roll after you get on the run way so we have to get down within a marker if not we just shove it around again. Also another fellow with us who is from Victoria, he used to work in Pemberton's around 1938, well he hit the deck on his solo today, it sort of gets you but he wouldn't know any thing about it. Nobody seems to know what happened its hard to say, may be something happened & caught him unawares
