19 September 1944

 R.C.A.F. Melsbroek, Belgium 

Heavy fog and low cloud all day with spasmodic spells of precipitation, consequently no operations. But we did see quite a display when Dakotas, Liberators, and Sterlings were trying to find the runway. Flying Control released a continuous barrage of flares and joined the crews in muttering prayers. Fortunately all aircraft were safely guided in.
