Heavy cloud in the
morning with a consistent gale throughout the day.
Scattered cloud in the afternoon. F/O Smith dashed around in his
pyjamas rounding up the flock for the church services conducted
by Padre Ashford; our Squadron was well represented. S/L
Norsworthy spent a good part of the afternoon giving evidence to
a Court of Inquiry on a forced landing which he had on returning
from a recent operation.
A new typhoon MN316 was
received from Redhill today making a total of 19. No operations
today and a very limited amount of flying. Pilots spent the day
reading secret publications, playing bridge and in the evening
some were treading a light measure in the mess to the strains of
the Wing Swing Band. The armourers came back to the dispersal at
night in the face of the discouraging drizzle to prepare the
bomb load for the operation tomorrow morning.
Webmaster's Note: The
541 Form for the month of June 1944 is extremely illegible, and
difficult to read, and may entail a trip to Ottawa to get a
better copy out of the Directorate of History. Hopefully theirs
will more legible.
In the meantime, illegible text is indicated by a
series of question " ? " marks.
