Summary
of Events for No.
439 (CAN) Squadron
as
recorded in the 439 Squadron Operations Record Book
for
19
May 1944
R.A.F.
Hutton Cranswick
Cloudy all day, but in
spite of that, training at 16 APC was concluded in the morning.
In the afternoon the aircraft were again inspected prior to
take-off to our base at 143 airfield at 1600 hrs. Twelve of our
aircraft took-off landing at 143 Airfield at 1700 hrs. Two of
the aircraft could not make it due to unserviceability and
inclement weather. After having all vehicles packed, refuelled
and prepared to depart the following morning with our personnel,
news was received from our Airfield that all groundcrews were to
remain as 438 Squadron is arriving to carry out a weeks training
at 16 APC. Although a few new adjectives were added to the
vocabulary, arrangements were made to unpack vehicles, but it
was impossible to cancel preparation of rations for the convoy
as they were already prepared, thus giving Hutton Cranswick an
opportunity of throwing a tea part. As the Squadron saying goes
" you never know".
