Flying as usual today. To-night we had our first Squadron Party since arriving overseas. On our way to Dalrymple to the Kirkland Inn, our truck was side-swiped by a bus. F/O Laycock, Hewson and Thomas were injured. Maurice is in the hospital with an injured back. Hewey and Frank are pretty badly bruised up and will be grounded for several days. Air Commodore Cochrane, Senior chaplain of the RCAF and W/C Hillock, C.O. of 143 Airfield, also attended the gathering of wild boisterous pilots.
