Heavy overcast in the morning with cold discouraging drizzle, clearing up partially at night. Consequently no operations were carried out. F/O Roberts, an architect in civvy street was elected to construct a floor for the pilots' tent. So with a few more pilots he made a recce of the local ruins and brought back a load of timber. It did not take long for the floor to take shape. The messes were in receipt of some Jerry furniture obtained through army authorities. It will be super having a little heat for a change, but the small stoves will have to be kept stoked if the effects of the heat are to be felt.
