609 Squadron's Private Joke
Quoted from Richard Collier's Eagle Day, pp. 19 -

     "At Warmwell airfield, Dorset, Pilot Officer Eugene 'Red' Tobin joined in the private joke of No. 609 Spitfire Squadron: the lull of these first August days was easily explained.  Goring had given the Luftwaffe a whole week's rest, before facing the R.A.F."
