Recently, however, I was able to interview another member of toe Flying Training School, this tone, a pitot trainee from Holland. Corporal Harry Van Den Big- gelaar i§ one of the four Dutch students currently training at Station Centralia. Born in Almelo, Holland, on September 22, 1934, he is the oldest of a family of tour boys and one girl, whose ages range between eight and ??. Harry’s father is a practising pharmacist in the town of Almelo, and has his own business there. Harry’s mother, although she concerns herself primarily with toe management of hep home and family to -Holland, holds an assistant pharmacist’s license. The cpuple met when they were both practising pharmacy in a hospital in Amsterdam. During the Nazi occupation of the Netherlands, Harry’s father, due to his profession was granted an “Ausweis,” by the occupying authorities. This was a special license which permitted the holder to carry out his profes­ sional duties in the public inter­ est, without any undue interfer­ ence from toe Gestapo op other enforcement bodies, For this reason, the family home was looked upon as being a haven, and Harry recalls several in­ stances when resistance fighters who were being sought by the Nazis, were sheltered in his home before being smuggled out to areas where they were more welcome. Harry received his formal edu- cation through the normal medium of public and high school. After graduation from high school, he went on to study pharmacy at Utrecht. University, in an endeavor to follow in the footsteps of his father- He spent three years at the university, during which time he also served as a Reserve Grenadier Guards­ man in the Royal Dutch Army. Art Enthusiast However, Itos young man possessed a strong desire to fly, which tended tp disrupt his abil­ ity to study. Finally, he broached the subject to tos father, explain- ing his wish to fly, and asking permission to be allowed to try to qualify as 'a pilot with the Royal Netherlands Air Force. His father, overcoming any mis­ giving that he might have felt, granted his permission, and Harry enlisted in the air force as an aircrew candidate in October, 1955, Harry fully realized that the course would not be simple. The Dutch primary flying training course is extremely difficult, and only a small percentage of the original intake usually graduates. As a matter of interest, he stated that at the time of his enlist­ ment, he had considerable doubt in his ability to qualify success- fully. Of the original intake of some 52 candidates, only 12 graduated successfully from the primary stage; of whom Harry was one. Of these 12, nine were sent to Canada to train,’ while the remaining three -stayed in Ilollaad- One of Harry’s personal frieiias, who was among those who remained behind, was killed recently in ‘ a flying accident in Holland. Harry has now • spent five months to Canada, the first ihree weeks of which were spent at No. 1 Officers’ School at Crum- Im. Since his arrival at Centralia, ,1m has amassed a total <?f hours dual and solo, time on the Harvard, Prior to coming to Canada, ,, he had completed 25 hours primary flying training on a Dutch trainer, the Fokker S11, This aircraft is comparable with the Canadian Chipmunk, al* though it is larger in size. Harry is now approaching the halfway mark on his FTS course. Will Become Sergeant1 After he graduates from the Flying Training School at Cen­ tralia, Harry will foe promoted to sergeant and will continue on to one of the advanced flying schools on the Manitoba Prairies for his jet course on the T-33, When he returns to the Nether­ lands as a qualified pilot, he will be .commissioned as a second lieutenant and posted to an operational squadron in hi§ home country. For his future career, Harry has a six-year period to serve with his air force. At present, he is not .too certain as to what he will do after that. - possibly he will remain with -the Netherlands Air Force, provided that he likes the service life sufficiently. As an alternative to this he would Hhe to fly as. a captain with the Kopingklyke Luchtnaartmaat schappy, or Royal Dutch Air­ lines, popularly known as K.L.M; However, even this is not certain, because since he has been in Canada, Harry has developed a liking for this Country and feels that he would like to make his future home here, He states a preference for the mountains of British Columbia, or the Pacific coast, where he would like to fly as a bush pilot. In the field of sports, Harry is an enthusiastic amateur sailor, and has spent a great deal of his youth handling the tiller and sheets of a sailing boat, In Hol­ land, he owns a sailboat of his Letter From Kippen Topics From own, tor winch he often ex* presses a tongmg. a it no has ppent many nappy hours learning me mystorm m tne art or san* mg. rior has no commod ms activities to cairn water work, upce, when out atone m his boat, he was caught in a severe storm, une press of wmd against toe canvas tore the sails uadiy, and as they started to .carry away, toe boat was dismasted, From that point on, tne situation ceased to be pleasant, and Harry was kept tony occupied witn keeping nis crippled crait afloat ana making his way safely back tp the shelter of land. For active recreation, other than sailing, Harry enjoys play, tog table tennis and volleyball, His hobbies include music — he has a great liking for the! classics — and i§ also an ardent fan of the New Orleans and Chicago eras of pure jazz, A lik­ ing for Louis Armstrong, Sidney Bechet, “Jelly Roll” Morton, Jack Teagarden and “Mezz” Mezzrow is obvious Harry is also an art enthusiast of the higher order, and although he does not paint, he has an active appreciation of fine art. Last but not lease in this list of hobbies, should be mentioned flying, Although flying aircraft is his work and his profession, and although he devotes many hours of each day to flying train- ing, he still Ji§ts flying among his pursuits for relaxation, He considers an ideal way of pass­ ing a week-end is to spend it in the air, after which he can re- turn, relaxed and rested, for a week’s work in the air I Before we ended the interview,I Harry asked me to express through the medium of the news­ paper, his deep appreciation of the treatment he has received since he came to Canada, He has been greatly ^impressed by the spontaneous generosity of all the people With whom he has come in contact. One particular ex­ ample of this generosity has been the efforts made by people to provide him with transport to the places which he has wished to visit. He emphasises the fact that Dutch NATO students in Canada do not receive a great deal of money, and thus they are riot always able to provide them­ selves with cars or other means of transport. However, the way in which people have gone out of their way tp provide Harry and his friends with facilities has made it possible for them to travel around and to view the country almost as well as if they did in fact possess their ,Qwn cars. We wish you luck in the future . Harry, and we sincerely hope that you will continue to be im­ pressed with our country, N«wi Eu4f«t Blanshard By MRS. GLADWYN HOOPER Mrs. T.
