Loved Flying

And here is a picture of Joan Peaison gathered from her mother from friends at home and from fellow members of the W.A.A.F.

She is 29 and dark and very gay except when she's at work. She was a photographer in the lovely Cornish village of St Ives until war broke out.

But her one great love in life was flying, and she learned to: fly-or almost. She had only a few more hours to do when war broke out.

Joan was told that she would not be permitted to Hy in war- time_but_she_could become an orderly in the medical section of the W.AAF.

Detective-Sergeant. Ivor Wil- liams, of the Special Branch, said he found Barnick at the Wylie's flat. He was a British subject, born of German parents, and had been interned.

The Magistrate: That is not quite the same thing.

Wylie said he gave Barnick some lunch, and it was "not until] all the trouble started" that he' knew he had escaped.
