Sowerbutt's Plan

Brendan Bracken said: “Lifting our skirts a little may persuade the Little Corporal that we are interested in a spot of tête-à-tête rather than fisticuffs. In the confusion, he may delay the invasion for a week or two and then it will be too late for this year."

Sowerbutt's Explosions

Away to the north, sirens wailed and fingers of light were stabbing the night sky. Explosion after explosion could be heard with flashes of flames and huge spirals of burning debris from the bombed buildings.

The aircraft slowly turned, lost height and made its final approach, its swastika markings clearly visible to the onlookers in the moonlight. The Hurricanes circled in the distance, their pilots watching every move. “OK lads, as soon as it lands we’ll head out and pick up the VIP,” Sowerbutt shouted.

By the time the car reached the hangar, a tall dark-skinned man with thick black hair and sunken eyes was standing by the stationary aircraft.

“Talk pleasantries with the Jerry you are escorting, reassure him about his journey, but discuss nothing else," Brendan Bracken said. "One judgement call for you.

Sowerbutt's Memories

Sowerbutt, concealed behind a nearby holly bush, watched as One-Line charged the IRA line, bellowing like an angry bull. He had seen his friend run wild before; outside a Whitechapel pub where some Reds drank. Three men had tumbled to the pavement like nine-pins, the other three fled. Inside the pub was pandemonium as drinkers dropped their pints, jumped the bar and raced through the kitchen to escape the wild man.

Sowerbutt's Friend

One-Line stood a head above most of his infantry company in the British Expeditionary Force which was why the short company sergeant-major always picked on him. With the two men engaging in a final and fatal argument during the chaotic retreat to Dunkirk, One-Line decided to desert after landing at Ramsgate from a motor yacht which had rescued 10 exhausted soldiers from the beaches. No-one witnessed the shooting, but as One-Line said: “The bastard Red Caps would rather hang ours than kill theirs.” Sowerbutt organised a new identity for his friend, complete with a medical exemption,  courtesy of the Scribe.

"One of the biggest laughs we had after the war was the Battle of the Signs." The retired writer for the East London Pioneer, who still has the notebook from his early 1960s interview with Sowerbutt, said: "They took down the street signs in 1940 so that Jerry would get lost if he invaded. In Poplar, they started putting them back up in '46. Some streets had disappeared in the Blitz, so that got them puzzled. Other signs were put on the wrong streets and had to be re-done. Come nightfall, the street boys changed the signs over. Went on for months. People loved it."

Sowerbutt's Fist

One-Line's palm connected with the teacher‘s face with a loud smack. His huge fist could kill a man at close range, but Sowerbutt had told his friend to be gentle.

"Rationing continued for years after the war, but Jimmy had a good ruse." The retired writer for the East London Pioneer, who still has the notebook from his 1960s interview with Sowerbutt, said: "He had a deal going with undertakers across the East End.
