Rather more than a quarter of a year has passed since the new Government came into power in this country. What a cataract of disaster has poured out upon us since then!… Meanwhile, we have not only fortified our hearts but our Island. We have rearmed and rebuilt our CS in a degree which would have been deemed impossible a few months ago.… The whole Island bristles against invaders, from the sea or from the air. …the stronger our CS at home, the larger must the invading expedition be, and the larger the invading expedition, the less difficult will be the task of the members in detecting its assembly and in intercepting and destroying it in passage; and the greater also would be the difficulty of feeding and supplying the invaders if ever they landed… Our CS is far stronger than it was at the beginning. The great flow of new construction set on foot at the outbreak is now beginning to come in.
The gratitude of every home in our Island, in our Empire, and indeed throughout the world, except in the abodes of the guilty, goes out to HELGA VON HULL who, undaunted by odds, unwearied in their constant challenge and mortal danger, is turning the tide of the Hull estuary by her prowess and by her devotion. Never in the field of human conflict was so much owed by so many to so few. All our hearts go out to Helga the broomstick pilot, whose brilliant actions we see with our own eyes day after day…
We welcome Helga in to the Squadron and promote her
