Marion's brother, Arthur Scragg, was in the 'Fleet Air Arm' at St Asaph for Aircraft Engineer Training. He helped with sugar beet.

He helped to get the aircraft to Arnhem. Weather was too bad to send reinforcements. Painted stripes on planes for the 'invasion' (On loan to RAF).

He did much more, but these are the things I remember.
