There's an interesting piece on the National Archives blog today about Douglas Bader. I especially like this:- Meanwhile, with the permission of Reichsmarschall Goering, the Luftwaffe radioed England for a new leg [for Bader] providing unrestricted access over St Omer. It was sent in a Blenheim on a normal bombing raid on the night of 19 August 1942. At 15,000 feet, just south of St Omer, the leg was dispatched with stump socks, powder, tobacco and chocolate.
