Dr. Moffat reported that he had noticed a certain amount of unrest amongst the people along the roads, and that he had seen parties of Unyoro moving along the hills. An old man of sinister appearance, clothed in a bizarre costume of skins and feathers, with a leather bag full of old teeth and bones, and a horn decorated with rude ornamentation, had been seen prowling about near the fort, and had been recognised as a wizard. A slaughtered bullock and a goat, as well as other articles of witchcraft, had been seen on the road; doubtless these things portended to something, but I did not then take much heed ...'Major A. B.

Sold by Order of a Direct Descendent'The U-boat was firing away merrily and must have upset the aircraft's aim somewhat. The C.O. [Spotswood] asked, "How do I attack this thing?""Aim in front of the conning tower and go across it 30 degrees so as to straddle it."I, meantime armed myself with an F.4 camera ready to take the U-boat picture of the year - if my hands would keep steady.The gunner manning the U-boat's aft gun was a blond, and his gunnery was very accurate. Steams of tracer came whistling at us and I yelled "Use the front guns.""Not close enough," said the C.O.Just then the rear gunner said, "There's an awful smell of petrol about."I checked the fuel gauges and found one which read zero. We had been hit in a tank! Then there was a clunk and the port undercarriage looked a bit of a mess. We flew damned near up the muzzle of the gun and broke off to see the D/C's explode near the stern.I got my photograph - it is now framed on my wall.'High drama aboard 'X' with Spotswood at the controls, as recounted by Flight Lieutenant J. R. Paine, D.F.M. in Search, Find and Kill.The outstanding post-war G.C.B., Second World War C.B.E., D.S.O, D.F.C. group of thirteen awarded to Marshal of the Royal Air Force Sir Denis Spotswood, Royal Air ForceHe and a close friend, Arthur, had concocted the idea of joining the R.A.F. during 'one long afternoon' rowing the Thames during 1935 - his fellow oarsman later became Squadron Leader A. S. K. Scarf, who was awarded a posthumous Victoria Cross in 1941A prominent figure in Coastal Command during the Second World War, Spotswood cut his teeth in Sunderlands and Lerwicks of No. 209 Squadron, prior to taking command of No. 500 Squadron in April 1942: what followed was an excellent lesson in resolve and leadership, no less than 22 U-Boats being engaged by his crews in Operation "Torch" alone - four of them failed to return to baseOne such victim was the U-595, hotly engaged by Spotswood's Hudson off Oran on 14 November 1942. So accurate was his depth charge attack that it lifted the U-Boat from the water but a beast of a 6lb. shell fired in retaliation smashed up his Hudson's starboard centre section: not to be outdone, he turned for a second attack and sprayed his opponent with accurate machine-gun fireHis talents were subsequently put to good use in planning air tactics on the Burma front, so much so that he became Mountbatten's most senior planner in that hard-fought theatre of war; so, too, in the post-war era, when he rose to the highest office in the Royal Air Force and had the honour of presenting The Prince of Wales with his 'Wings' upon his passing out from Cranwell in 1971The Most Honourable Order of the Bath, G.C.B.
