The airman was uninjured and seemed to have been a bit of a regular daredevil prone to spontaneous acts for money. In this case it was about 2/6d. Ken is in the photo at the bottom RH corner. </B></div> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> #####################################################################################################</div> <bR> <div> <I><B><U>UXBRIDGE.</U></B></I></div> <bR> <div> <I><B><U><IMG SRC="1bc95c80.jpg" border=0 width="149" height="200" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></U></B></I></div> <bR> <bR> <bR> <div> ##########################################################################################################</div> <bR> <bR> <bR> </td> </tr></table></body>
