Hi,

Thought of sharing this interesting document, signed by Major Douglas W Gumbly in 1941, Jerusalem.

I like that! At the stroke of a pen one goes from being a common Driver to a Master Aviation Mechanic.

I note the four languages of the document, English, Hebrew and Arabic but why the French?

A British Mandate of Palestine passport: English, Hebrew and Arabic. But, as an international language and as appearing on other passports as well, they added the French for this section from pages 1 to 5.

Much the same with driving licences now apparently ....When I took the car test it covered me for everything except HGVs ,Motor cycles and PSVs....( got those as well )...now apparently there are restrictoins on towing and various other things requiring seperate testing.

Progress - of a kind?
