Cloudy
all day with a bit of rain, hence no operations which were
further prevented by unserviceable perimeter track and the
runway itself wasn't so hot as a result of continuous
inclemency. Padre Ashford had a full house at 1400 hrs. when he
conducted a service in a large Marquee at the dispersal mess.
All officers attended a mess meeting outdoors near the Officers
Mess. S/L Norsworthy handed over his duties as P.M.C. (President
Mess Committee) to
S/L Lundy, the new S.M.O. (Senior
Medical Officer) at
143Wing and F/O Harrison, the Squadron Adjutant , was appointed
to the Messing Committee.
Movies
were shown in the Airmen's Mess during the afternoon, especially
for the benefit of Squadron Airmen who are dispersed away from
the main part of the Wing Headquarters. Movies were also shown
in the Officer's Mess during the morning. Horseshoe pitching and
volley ball playing recommenced at our dispersal when the ground
dried up partially. Our Officers participated in assisting to
improve the grounds around the Mess and Ante Room after supper.
There was a marked difference in appearance when they finally
laid down their bludgeons.
