Bashed Baffins
Sir, Mr Coombs in his article The expanding years (November 1984 Aeroplane) writes that “A cyclone swept across RAF Hal Far in Malta in November 1936” and destroyed the Baffins of 812 Sqn. I was in 812 at the time and it seems to me that many of your readers will not have seen a Baffin, and fewer still will have seen one after a cyclone has hit it. <...>
