Another hard days work getting the aircraft ready. Piet van der Merwe and Sandy Joyner have put up a very good show with their gangs in obtaining extra transport for the squadron and making us at last practically mobile. Flew down to base today to organise Headquarters and get them on their way. Found some “flat spinning” but got things organised and informed Flight Giani that rain or shine they had to be on their way by the first day of the new year.
Capt. Piet Carroll left today for the Union after fifteen months in the field. He has put In a wonderful bit of hard work in this squadron and we shall miss him very much.
