Bull terrier en route to Lebanon by plane
Nov. 24, 1953 - Dog Goes by Air to Lebanon, Flies to his RAF Master. Rolfe, a Bull Terrier, was in London this morning prior to leaving London Airport for the Lebanon. The flight has been arranged by the RSPCA and the dog is going out to his master Flight Sgt. F. Hitchcock serving with the RAF at Base Aerienne, Rayak, Lebanon. Rolfe is 2 years old and was being cared for by Mrs. Hitchcock of Hythe, who asked the RSPCA to find a home for him otherwise to have him destroyed. The RSPCA wrote to the F/Sgt, who offered to pay the dog's fare and the Society made the necessary arrangements for the flight. Keystone Photo shows: RSPCA Inspector F.
