You are indeed right about the SPV being piloted from a rear-facing back seat, but that wasn't very convincing to me because of what I knew about Lancaster rear gunners.
No part of the SPV instrumentation was called "Clear-Vu" though was it?

What did you know about them and/or how is it relivent ?
I always thought that Droitwich was abroad - perhaps in Austria or Germany.

I was astonished when I found out that Richmal Crompton was. How could a woman have such an understanding of the 11-year-old male mind?

A friend of mine is a lifelong Richmal Crompton fan.
His firstborn son was named William.
just "William"?
Because of the name. Its sound and spelling.
How about Ipswich and Nantwich? Or indeed Norwich.
You would think so, bit I made the same mistake.
Worse still, I thought Andy Pandy was a girl.
but the "Droit" is very French
I had been to Ipswitch and Norwich. So I knew where they were. I hadn't noticed Nantwich on the radio dial.
How should I know that 'Enid' was a woman's name? It sounds more like a blokes name.

All dogs are male; all cats are female. That was my belief in 1954.
Harold Macmillan was Prime Minister in the late 50s so "Our Father which art in heaven, Harold be thy name..." made a sort of sense.
The gap between my mother's breasts went right through her body and came out as her bum.

Furthermore, the old man with the droopy moustache who sat in silence at the back of the classroom when we had a student teacher was Albert Schweitzer.
And I became convinced during the fourth year in the juniors that the world as I saw it was an elaborate artificial environment created for us by some superior beings who were observing us.
