Have just finished re-reading CC.
Something that had not registered before leads me to wonder if anynody else has noticed it.

Right at the very beginning, just after Tom has made it onto the train, AR is giving the background to why the D's are in Norfolk
and how they had (after WH) made up their minds to become sailors.

... but it was no use going north at Easter , for the Blacketts
were away with their uncle, and the Walkers were in the south
WITH THEIR FATHER, WHO WAS HOME IN ENGLAND ON LEAVE.

I always thought that WDMTGTS followed in late summer of the same
year as CC (with PP sandwiched in during the early summer) and on
joining GOBLIN in Flushing Cmdr Walker had "been sleeping for the best part of a fortnight" on his way back from China!

It doesn't fit!! Presumably between 1934 (CC) and 1937 (WDMTGTS)
AR had forgotten this detail! Or can anybody think of some other explanation?
