16 February 1944

 R.A.F. Ayr, Ayrshire, Scotland

The Winco brought us some very good news this morning. He informs us that we will be getting 18 more Typhoons within the next 7 days. Commenced air firing this morning, using a Hurricane to tow the drogue, which is only 10 feet long. No hits were recorded, but this was to be expected, as this was the first firing we have done in Hurricanes.
