Royal Air Force logbook grouping, a probable family group - comprising an interesting Flying Log Book and notebook named to E.G. Hill. E.G. Hill's career spanned from 1917 as a First World War Observer with the Royal Flying Corps before re-training as a Navigator during the Second World War with the 14 OTU and a lengthy post-war career with the Telecommunications Research Establishment (T.R.E) at Defford, conducting test flights, acceptance tests etc, from 1949-1967. Other interesting entries include Berlin Airlift trips to deliver coal and taking part in the Queen's Coronation flypast in 1953, the notebook for 1943 with daily entries. T.R.E logbooks are scarce. Sold together with a Pilot's Flying Log Book and further Flying Log Book named to R.G Hill, fairly routine wartime service as a Flight Engineer with flying records, beginning from September 1942 up to 1957, with a gap, and single page for 1969.
