My Grandad, Maurice Lee, wrote this letter to his son, Geoff, my Dad, when he enlisted in the RAF. Nora is Geoff's younger sister [by 13 years] referred to in the letter as "Dickie". Dad then went on to Cairo, where he was stationed during the war in the RAF. He was not a pilot, as his eyesight was not good enough, but he served with honour behind the scenes.
