This day was spent by ground personnel in marking out a bombing range beyond the far edge of the aerodrome, and making other preparations for bombing practice which is now being added to the flying practice that is being carried out.
Light smoke bombs will be carried and practice starts tomorrow.
We did two shows today, the first show was led by the Commanding Officer and another attack was carried out on enemy gun positions. The bombs burst in a good pattern and two direct hits were scored on a railway line. A.A. moderate, accurate for height but behind the formation. Oprep. No. 267 SortieReport & Crew List.
