HOW IT FEELS TO JUMP

MATURDAY was not such
SATURful day from my
point of view, ns on our third patrol I lost my aircraft.
We were at about 21,000ft. when we got involved with a squadron Messerschmitt
of 109's. They got me even be- fore I saw them, which was very annoying.
I first felt a curious sort of .bump, and as I turned to see what was up my controls fell funny a lot of red sparks and hack smoke appeared around my feet, and a cloud of white smoke probably glycol-be- gan streaming back from the engine.
The aircraft begun going downhill fusi, I slid back the hood and began to get out; my goggles were whipped off, and my helmet began to lift up in the slip stream.
I realised I had not undone my, straps, но I pulled out the retaining pin and stood up, standing on anything which came handy (the seat, the in- strument pane), or the stick, I don't really know). The air seized hold of me, and there was a wrench as my oxygen tube snapped off (I had for gotten to undo it), and I shot out into the sky.
The aeroplane disappeared.
It was nice and cool falling. I was head down, of course, but found the position quito comfortable. There was sense of apced, or any feeling of failing.

I had a look at the clouds below me (they were at about

My parachute was still on my seat. Both my boots were on, and I didn't seem to have lost anything except my gog gles, a handkerchief and map. They must have fallen out of the pockets in my knees when I first went upside down.
After a while I thought about pulling the rip-cord.
I seemed to have fallen a goodish way, so I pulled. The canopy streamed out, there was a hard jerk, and there I was right side up, quite com- fortable, and floating slowly-- oh, so slowly-earthwards,
I was at about 9,000ft, to 10,000ft. then, so I had fallen for about 8,000ft.-9,000ft. (from about 18.000ft.), and might have fallen farther with advantage.
When I looked up I could see the shining white canopy above me, and little silver specks having no end of dog fight in the

It was fun going into the clouds at the sun played a nort of "spectre of the bracken" effect on my shadow as I approached them. When I emerged, the countryside looked pleasantly open, and after drifting quite a way I thought i saw where I should land.

I managed to get hold of a trunk, pull myself over to 1, get out of the parachute barness, ond climb to the ground, where I remained quite still until I was found.
The Army soon took charge of me, gave me a drink and some Rinch, and drove me back to my buse.
The only damage I sustained was a hefty bruise on my right shoulder from hitting the tail as jumped, and a bruise on my leg and a forn trouser from the comewhat un- ceremonious descent through the upper branches of the oak.

ISTANBUL. VERMANY'S big problem of the moment is to keep Turkey out of the war.
To succeed in this, she must forfeit some of her aims in the Balkans, Hitler must restrain his desire to march through Bulgarin to help his ally Mussolini in the campaign against Greece.
For Turkey has given, a categorical assurance that any move from Bulgaria into Greece means that Turkey enters the war against the Axis.
I have been told that "mER- sures of the utmost import- ance will be taken by Turkey in the near future."
This statement was not made by extremists, but by responsible people in legista- tive circles here.
No Mobilisation
The same sources added that this should not be taken. as meaning a declaration of war.
Turkey, to-day, is complete- ly prepared for war in every respect. But general mobili- sution is considered as unlike- ly for the present,
Looking at the general Bal- kan situation from here, it seems reasonable to assume that Germany will avoid a direct move through Bulgaria unless forced to it by a com- plete Italian failure.
Yet there are many com- petent observers who take the

But it is possible that Ger- many and Italy will col- laborate in a move through Jugoslavia against Greece, and in that event Turkey's attitude is uncertain.
