Jim Bennett was in MI9 with Fleming and carried lots of gadgets in the suitcase he carried to the lectures.

Funny that, Pat. I read somewhere that Q had been based on a woman!

He taught RAF aircrew about how to escape, they had silk scarves around their necks with maps on. Buttons that were compasses and how to use simple codes.

Jim Bennett escaped in WW1 so knew lots of ways to get out of the camps.

I think at her behest, Joy.....she is supposed to have given a very generous donation to one of the charities. The Queen has never been one to take sides in public but I think the floral display said it all :-)

A very subtle touch, I thought, Belle. I wonder whether it was at her behest or one of her savvy advisers. :-D
