El Djem

The Luftwaffe put in another appearance last night, but again our A .A. was too much for them, a few bombs were dropped but nothing was hit. Instructions received to move our aircraft to EL DJEM North L.G., this afternoon and the Camp tomorrow. The Commanding Officer and Adjutant accompanied by several other Officers visited this landing ground to select a camp site and dispersal area. The aircraft were flown over during the course of the afternoon and flight personnel moved over with lock, stock and barrel. At about six this evening we were advised to disperse all the aircraft as much as possible as there was a distinct possibility that we will be heavily bombed tonight. Accordingly the aircraft were scattered all over.
No Operational flying. Oprep.
