DISTINGUISHED FOREIGN VISITOR: "Your Squadron have put up some good performances in bad weather conditions at night, and your chief here tells me that, you have not lost a single aeroplane." SQUADRON LEADER: "Yes, sir, that is true. We have been very lucky perhaps, but all our machines are the new bombers fitted with tricycle undercarriages. Landing at night and in rotten weather conditions is a much easier proposition on tricycles." DISTINGUISHED FOREIGN VISITOR: "That may be one reoson, but oil you fellows seem to take the whole bus/ness so casually and yet so capably." SQUADRON LEADER: "Well, sir, one explanation may be that all the members of this Squadron were trained to night flying on OWLET tricycle trainers right from their very first flight. I am sure that all the fellows here will agree that it has never been much more unusual or dangerous for us to fly at night than during the day."
