This Day In History

Summary of Events for  No. 439 (CAN) Squadron 

as recorded in the  439 Squadron Operations Record Book

for

 01 January 1944 

while stationed at  Bournemouth, Hants, and Wellingore, Lincolnshire, England 

The pilots of the Squadron moved from Bournemouth to Wellingore all  day yesterday, arriving in Wellingore at 1830 hours. It turned out to be a very quiet New Years' Eve, as the chaps were all pretty tired. Today was taken up pretty well by looking around and getting acquainted with the new surroundings. It was the first experience for most of the pilots, of a dispersed field and some of the comments were interesting. 35 cooks arrived today, although no one knows quite why so many have came to this Station as the Squadron only brought 9 from Canada. We should eat well anyway.
