which remained a mystery until recently. However, I am please to announce that the mystery is now solved. Having received an e-mail from Mike Philcox (thanks Mike) he says the shield belonged to C Flt 2 Sqn, 306th Entry Clk Secs. The Boxer, was in celebration of Johnny Webb's boxing achievements, who Phil believes became an apprentice champion at welter weight. The 2 beasts were to represent the two barrack rooms in which the flight was accommodated and the football was meant to represent the fact that they won all the inter flight sporting competitions they entered. The typewriter represented their prospective trade and the red and white checks the hatband. The blue background represented the colour of the discs backing their wheels and cap badges. Mike says the motto "Esprit" spoke for itself as were a bolshie lot (in a great way of course)!. Mike believes the designer may have been Bob Finnie, but he is not sure. Mike also says: Johnny Webb was a good mate of mine and although softly spoken and a nicebloke he changed when he got in the ring. Robert Finnie who slept in the bunk opposite me on the ground floor of Gibson. On my right was the bed of Art Credland (don't call me Arthur, call me Cred or Art). My memory may be confusing me here especially when I look at the photo of C Flight showing AA Finnie. Rob was a tall guy - almost 6ft and especially if what I believed all these years is wrong. |
