Gibraltar Intelligence

'MICHAEL. PARKER walked towards the aircraft. The Duke followed. Their hands clasped, long and firm. The flicker of a wry smile turned the edges of the Duke's mouth . . . the two men did not speak.' By Sydney Smith, who travelled with Com- mander Parker from Gibraltar to London yester- day.—Daily Express, Febsuary 7.

'THE DUKE, wan, pale, and unsmiling, grasped Mike by the hand, hesitated a moment as their eyes met, and said "Good luck and God-speed—whatever happens, in anything you do."'.

By Alan Gardner, who flew home with Mike Parker from Gibraltar.—Daily Sketch, February 7.

'THE DUKE shook hands. . . . "Goodbye, Parker," he said.'

By T. F. Thompson, who flew home with Com- mander Parker.—Daily Mail, February 7.
