The days pass and gradually the squadron takes on a more settled appearance. After the hard work of the months previous the artisan personnel do not appreciate the enforced period of rest and many are turning their hands to making their quarters exceedingly comfortable. Two enterprising spirits have erected their home-made wind-chargers, and are supplied o’ nights in their tents with electric lights. Kindred spirits are busy constructing comfortable quarters in the messes and some enthusiasts in the Sergeants' Mess have succeeded in building sofas out of sandbags, with the aid of "borrowed”motorcar seats.
A number of personnel have been drafted to BURG-EL-ARAB to assist in the servicing of the aircraft of this squadron now taken over by the Advanced Aircraft Depot. Others have proceeded on courses at the School at Ismailia for training on American aircraft.
