The above picture was known as ‘the Hut’ and was possibly RAF Maiduguri’s Met Office. The
picture below shows unknown staff from the airfield with Leonard sat front row, (second in from
left) (and in the centre) possibly the Station Commander Squadron Leader Ronald F Hamlyn AFC,
DFM. He was one of only two airmen who earned Ace status in a single day. He served until
1957, retired as a Wing Commander and died in 1991. His beautiful set of medals together with
his logbook sold for £75,000 in November 2014.
