Summary
of Events for No.
439 (CAN) Squadron
as
recorded in the 439 Squadron Operations Record Book
for
05
May 1944
R.A.F.
Hurn
Fair weather in the
morning, improving in the early afternoon, but intermittent
showers which were more intensified. No operations today and
very little flying done, as a large portion of the Airfield
proceeded on the practice move entailing 103 vehicles and
several dispatch riders. F/O Royce Johns was all smiles and chuckled to himself on being granted leave. The 439 Office
was transferred from a tent to a 3 ton truck, thus improving
working conditions for the bumph boys. F/O's Burgess, Bernhart,
and Porritt ferried some old Typhoons to Redhill, where they
were supposed to bring back three new ones, but there weren't
any there to bring back so, after considerable difficulty, they
managed to get a transport to take them to Redhill Station where
they caught a train for home.
