One of our aircraft Maryland 1646, piloted by 2/Lieut. Cumming crashed on landing here in the course of O.T.U. training flight. Neither the pilot nor his crew received injuries. The aircraft was "not repairable by Unit"and request for salvage and replacement was made.
Meanwhile the advance party were well on their way to 0.21. Accorded excellent treatment at the R.A.F. Station, AMRIYA, and refreshed by showers and an excellent midday meal there, they pushed on to reach the landing ground that night.
