All available officers and men of the squadron attended a special parade and church service – the latter conducted by the Bishop of Pretoria – this morning. The S.A.A.F. Base Depot was formally declared open by Maj. General Theron, who after referring to the benefits that would ensue to the S.A.A.F. as a whole, referred to the camp as a "little bit of South Africa”.
The afternoon was marked by an exciting cricket match between ground personnel and flying crews of this squadron, which ended with a one-run victory for the "landlubbers".
