My wife's father Fred Northover learned to fly with the Empire scheme in Canada from around 1942. He did multi training on Ansons then was assigned to Coastal Command aircraft. He thus learned on Cansos and then Catalinas in Canada and finally graduated overseas to Sunderlands.

Fred was shocked by the events on Southampton Water. It brought back memories of trying to land on choppy water especially at night.
