Visits to and from our immediate headquarters were now the order of the day. Officers in charge of various sections were busy contacting the "men that mattered" to enable their particular sections to function as soon as possible.
The squadron was fortunate in being able to record as its first official visitor to the drome the Director General of Air Force, Brigadier Venter, who arrived in the afternoon together with Lt. Col. Hingeston, S.A.O.A., S.A.A.F., Middle East and Lt. Col. P.A. Thorpe of S.A.
Congratulations were extended by the Brigadier on the "Good show" put up by the squadron in moving up so quickly Into "action stations" and for the general standard efficiency displayed.
