Tuesday 12th November 1935

North run. Croucher let me take the wheel as we came back along the Great West, just at twilight. Drove right back to the works. Heavy vans rather awkward to control – gear changing especially hard.

After leaving the ship I called at Father’s digs, near Edgware Road. The hostess showed me up to his room and I made myself cosy with a pipe and the paper until he returned. Surprise! There I sat. Back by the 11.58.
