Bombing and Gunnery School, Staff Pilot

Well we, we were sent to, after our leave, we went back to Rockcliffe in Ottawa and hung around there until we were posted. I was sent down to a bombing and gunnery school outside of Belleville called Mountain View as a staff pilot. First thing I had to do, was start flying Ansons, I'd never flown twin engines before. So I flew Ansons in that bombing flight where they taught bombers, or bomb-aimers I should say, and then I moved over to another flight called drogue flight where they used to tow targets for air gunners and there we flew Lysanders. And I became the CO of that flight and eventually we changed from flying Lysanders to flying Bolingbrokes which were a twin engines air craft, well they had been operational early in the war. The air gunners were being trained there were flying in the Bolingbrokes, with a turret and they were earlier on they had been firing at a target towed by a Lysanders which was slow, so they eventually decided they could tow a drogue out of a Bolingbroke, so the speed was more comparable to the gunners. So I stayed there until the end of the war and then I got my discharge.
