R.C.A.F. Funtingten, Essex,
England
Lecture
this morning by Capt. Art Woodhouse on Army Organization. It was
mostly a discussion with pilots asking questions. F/O Ross & P/O
Bernhart left today on leave. All leave & 48 hr passes, other
than aircrew have been cancelled, apparently for security
reasons.
The C.O.
flew over to Ford this afternoon in Hurricane "Z". F/O's Burgess
& Elfner flew up to Odiham & from there went into Basingstake to
see F/O Andy (A.C..) Clarke. His condition is still very
serious, and the doctor wouldn't make any statement as to his
outcome. F/O Leigh ferried Typhoon "P" EK-194 to Redhill. F/O
Laycock flew up in the Auster to pick him up. They did not
return today, but should be back tomorrow.
Five of our
pilots have been posted to the pool at Redhill. They are : F/O
J. Kalen (J21856), F/O E.J. Allen (J20587), F/O C.C. Leigh
(J22279), F/O N.H. Rassenti (J22462).

Clarke (J22005) has been posted to 143 Airfield Hqts.
