    "Andreas Lone formerly worked the Cheese III set, and was a close collaborator of "Tom" since the autumn of 1941.

    He is from Flekkefjord, and has long been known to us as one of our best local recruits. He is a seaman, a wireless operator of the best type, and would probably be a useful acquisition for Shetland boats."
