WW2 Blinded & disabled - Bill Griffiths FEPOW
William ‘Bill’ Griffiths, a long-distance lorry driver from Blackburn, Lancashire, joined the RAF in 1940 as a transport driver. He was posted overseas, arriving on 5th August 1941 at Kalang in Singapore.
When the Japanese invaded, his unit was shipped to Java but soon found themselves prisoners of war. Bill was one of a group of men selected by the Japanese to move an ammunition dump in Java, and it was during this task that he was blown up.
At just 21 years old, he lost his eyes and hands. His other injuries included a leg was broken at the tibia and femur, and he was covered from head to toe in shrapnel wounds.
Bill was interviewed for the Archive in 2003. He describes the effect his disabilities had on him and the coping strategies he used, and of how he overcame adversity to build a successful life helping other disabled veterans.
Bill's full-length interview is available from our Audio Archive

    " The Bevin Boys were a group of young men in the UK during World War II who were conscripted not to fight on the front lines, but to work in the coal mines. This all started in 1943 when Ernest Bevin, the Minister of Labour and National Service, realized that Britain was facing a massive coal shortage. Coal was essential for keeping the war machine running-factories, railways, and even the military needed it. So, instead of sending all these young men to the battlefield, about 10% of conscripts were sent underground to keep the country powered. In total, around 48,000 men became Bevin Boys, making up that 10% of conscripts. The program ran from 1943 until the end of the war in 1945, and the last Bevin Boys weren’t released from service until 1948-three years after the war had officially ended. These guys didn’t have much of a choice; they were randomly selected, often by a lottery system, so one day you could be training to fight, and the next day you were handed a pickaxe and a helmet. Public opinion about the Bevin Boys was mixed. Some people saw them as slackers who had dodged the front lines, while others recognized how crucial their work was. The truth is, they didn’t get the same recognition as soldiers, and many felt forgotten and overlooked. If someone refused to become a Bevin Boy, they could be charged with desertion or insubordination, which carried serious penalties, including imprisonment. It wasn’t until 1995 that the Bevin Boys were formally recognized for their contributions. For decades, their work went largely unacknowledged, but eventually, they were honored with a commemorative badge, giving them some long-overdue recognition for the vital role they played during the war.

When Miles handed over the Flying tail it was all ahead full with the US while pressure was put on Miles from the UK Govt to close it down Although Brown never says in his book, the inference is that the US put pressure on the UK government to close the Miles program down .

      Probably the greatest pilot ever, period. He flew some incredibly dangerous prototypes, long before flight simulators, when you had to eyeball the plane to decide how it might behave. Good lord! And of course people who flew several of the same planes after him were killed in crashes, as you no doubt know. He tested the DH 108. All three prototypes were destroyed in crashes, and the pilots killed.
