Having completed two and one-half years overseas on operations, Flight Lieutenant Hoar has spent several months at this Operational Training Unit in the capacity of squadron commander. He has proven to be a most capable and efficient squadron commander and was instrumental in re-organizing his squadron while it was in the process of conversion from Hudson to Mosquito aircraft. He had always set an outstanding example to the pupils under his command which has definitely resulted in a state of high morale.
