S. Department of Agriculture an invitation for representatives of the Forest Products Laboratory to visit England for the purpose of "strengthening the present collaboration between our two countries on researches into the uses of timber in aircraft construction."

Navy Bureau of Aeronautics, the U. S. Civil Aeronautics Administration, and to the Canadian Forest Products Laboratories. Due to pressure of work and limi- tation of technical personnel, the Army and Navy were unable to accept the invitation.

  • 136 Squadron Royal Air Force & F/Sgt 'Bob' Cross, DFM
    136 Squadron Royal Air Force & F/Sgt ‘Bob’ Cross, DFM. Formed at Kirton -in- Lindsey, Lincolnshire, on 20 th August 1941, and equipped with Hawker Hurricane MkIIs, 136 Squadron can be said to have been a truly ‘Commonwealth’ squadron. The founder members hailed from Australia, Britain, Canada, New Zealand and South Africa, and even boasted an Argentine Scot! The Squadron can also lay claim to being the only known unit of the British Forces whose name, and ultimately the official Squadron Crest, approved and granted by the Monarch, came about courtesy of a somewhat bawdy song! It was in ‘The Queens Head’ pub, in Kirton village, that the first Squadron C.O., Squadron Leader T.A.F. Elsdon, DFC, broke into song, although perhaps not too tunefully, with a rendition of a slightly risqué ditty, entitled “The Woodpecker’s Hole ”, sang to the tune of “ Dixie ”, which was taken up by at least two of the young pilot’s who also knew the words, and it wasn’t long before this became the ‘Squadron Song’. The legend of ‘The Woodpeckers’ had begun! Becoming operational on 28 th September, conducting patrols over the North Sea, the Squadron was soon on the move, embarking for the Far East on November 9 th . Upon arrival in India, ‘The Woodpeckers’ were quickly redirected to Burma, arriving in early February 1942, during the Japanese invasion! Another move swiftly followed at the end of the month, with the Squadron evacuated to India, reforming operationally, still with Hurricanes, on 31 st March. The main duties were convoy patrols, and the air defence of Calcutta, and some operations actually took place from a main thoroughfare in the city, the Red Road, with take off and landing being between the stone balustrades on either side of the road, with the odd statue or two to take into consideration on the approach! Detachments based at Chittagong also began operating over the Burma front, in mid-December, with the Squadron being based there by the end of the year.
