    Vol 61 Page 16 John Laming. Vol 51 Page 16 Ghosts of Camden Past. This story started in 1947 when my father Hugh Laming, a journalist with the Sydney Morning Herald’s London office, was offered the chance of migrating to Australia to take a post with that prestigious newspaper in Sydney. Following his demobilization from the British Army after the end of the 1939-45 war, like so many returned servicemen, he had become restless and longed for something different to life in Fleet Street as a newspaper scribe. My mother had died in 1939 at the young age of 33 and meeting a vivacious Middle East beauty in Beirut in 1945, Laming senior married again. For the duration of the war I saw my father just twice, once immediately after the fall of Dunkirk in 1940 when he scrambled back to relative safety in England and the second time when he visited me for just one hour in 1944 while in a convoy of trucks en- route through my home of Tonbridge in Kent during the lead up to the Allied invasion of Europe. His adventures in the Army took him through Greece, Yugoslavia, and the Middle East, then through Italy and finally the invasion of Europe. During those years – I was seven years old when the war began in 1939 – I stayed with various relatives and friends of my family both in Cranbrook and Tonbridge in Kent. I was spared the direct horrors of war, thank goodness, although like anyone close to London, I witnessed the Battle of Britain from the green fields of Kent far below and ran for cover when low flying German aircraft fired their machine guns and dropped their bombs nearby.

  • 23. Mr Storey's Story
    23. Mr Storey’s story Much about the crash of A16-97 remained inexplicable. As far as the public was concerned, privy only to Justice Lowe’s findings, the story was that the ‘machine stalled’. Whatever might be suspected, nothing had been said directly to suggest that the pilot had erred. Pilot error could be inferred. It could not be proved. No-one was required to believe that Flight Lieutenant Bob Hitchcock had been inadequately instructed in the dangerous characteristics of the new aircraft he was flying. It would not do for there to be a loss of confidence in the RAAF’s selection of prospective Hudson pilots or of its training regime. A more satisfactory deduction for the authorities — a deduction left for the public to make — was that an adequately trained and competent pilot had just made a fatal mistake. There might have been other contributory factors but none could be conclusively confirmed. Thus, how or why such a ‘miscalculation’ could have been made was left to the imagination. A delicate path had been constructed for the Air Court of Inquiry. Those whose responsibility it was to advise the Court about Bob Hitchcock’s competence had directed attention only to his most recent record. There was no hint of anything other than ‘average’ or ‘above average’ performance in the evaluations disclosed. But there was an economy of truth in providing only these assessments. There is no indication that Justice Lowe was made aware of Hitchcock’s misadventures as a young pilot officer, or of any later concerns about his flying.

    Vol 59 Page 16 John Laming. Aircraft and other stuff. Vol 51 Page 16 First Encounters . It all started with Captain Lamb and Dick Nye in 1939, the year that World War 2 began. I was seven years old and lived with an old uncle and aunt who took care of me while my father was at war. We lived in a lovely house called “The Oaks” situated on the edge of Angley Woods near the village of Cranbrook in that beautiful part of England called Kent. My Uncle Alf, a veteran from the first world war of 1914-18, had built the house practically single handed, despite being crippled in one leg by machine gun fire from a Turkish soldier during the battle for Beerasheba. Old Alf – he was all of 55 in those days – took me to meet Captain Lamb, a retired sea captain who lived down the road in a small cottage with a lovely hawthorn hedge and a garden full of roses. As Alf and the captain talked in the garden, I peeped through the bay windows of his charming Kentish cottage and saw a model of a sailing ship inside a bottle standing on top of a weathered mahogany writing desk. Wandering around the back of the house I stood on tip-toes and peered through another window and spotted a portrait of the old captain dressed in uniform, with a telescope under his arm and four stripes on his sleeve. He looked younger than now but tall and handsome with a trim beard. Nowadays of course the picture would not be complete without a pair of aviator sunnies… The background of the portrait showed a three masted clipper in full sail.

It summarizes, in the idiom of the day, the attitude of the former wartime pilots involved in this adventurous early post-war long-distance venture. An extraordinary chapter of Australia’s civil aviation history, which has gone largely unrecorded, is the early post World War Two period of ad-hoc charter flights carrying migrants from Europe to Australia. It began in 1947 with a handful of flights by Australian charter companies, flying mostly civilianised ex RAAF transports and bombers purchased from military disposals.
