The weather again
was exceptionally clear and warm with only a very light haze and
no cloud that reminds us more of the weather in Canada. The flying
for the day amounted to 49 sorties on dive-bombing and one
casualty occurred when F/O Murray Hallford's aircraft dropped a
fairing on pulling out of a dive, then touching down at the drome,
his undercarriage collapsed and the aircraft was rendered a Cat
AC. There was nothing else of importance today. The evening was
absorbed as usual in the bar and in the local towns of Weymouth,
Dorchester as well as Bournemouth. A keg of beer was left from our
party a few nights ago and this afforded a very good excuse for
celebration. The serviceability increased slightly, but three
kites are still on the sick list.
