"Britain's Merchant Air Service".
Hence, rather than similar to the: For our Royal Navy Friends and the RFA an Aviation corner as opposed to: For our RAF Friends etc. Personally know little of the Merchant Air Service and more ?
EG: Apparently, A wartime magazine, showed a BOAC Mosquito and the caption included the following: "The de Havilland Mosquito .... is now being used by the corporation as a fast air carrier The picture shows one of our Mosquitoes about to take off for a night journey".
But on the reverse is part of an article that reads: Captain R C Parker and Mr P S Edwards took part in a broadcast with Mr Macdonald Hastings in the BBBC Forces programme on 16th August. It was recorded and rebroadcast on 19th August. The programme was in the Radio Reconnaissance series and was entitled "Britain's Merchant Air Service".
