 R.C.A.F. St. Andre, France 

The morning was perfect with hardly a cloud in sight, but a little cool and breezy. The Squadron 30 Cwt. with springs sagging and cab loaded with tents lumbered off clumsily together with the jeep to B.48. If our prayers are answered, the truck will make the journey. (19:00 hours). The truck and jeep rolled into Glisy, east of Amiens, after several stops to cool off, and with a blown muffler. Our new sleeping site is located beside some pranged hangars, dummy buildings and aircraft, with from a distance appeared quite realistic. F/O J.H. Stitt and W.O.2 W. Gray flew to B.9 by Auster to pick up two Typhoons only to find that two other pilots had made the delivery.
