L.G. 021

Another run for the "Old Boys" of BENGHASI to earn their "colours" The show was not too hot, visibility was poor, there were no fighters stooging around looking for "fun" and most of the bombs overshot the mark. Rather depressing when the squadron had not fully recovered from the hammer blows dealt it.
Two sea searches were carried out today, one in the morning and and other after lunch, seeking for shipping in the BARDIA area. What between the Royal Navy and the Marylands the Itie shipping concerns are not my idea of a very good investment at the moment. No trace of any shipping - photographs were taken from 6,000 feet.
