My father and other RAF airmen were issued with a ‘Goolie Chit’ to help protect them against natives who might harm them if they crashed their plane.
Armed with a new one, he was tasked with rescuing 2 downed Bisley aircraft, a notoriously dreadful aircraft (Listen to ‘The Grisly Bisley’ episode). Reaching them - one on a remote island, the other over mountains - in an outdated ‘Val’ plane severely challenged his skills as a pilot.
