A start was made this morning on regular flying activities in the squadron, and pilots will soon have opportunities of testing to the full the qualities of the new machine. Early morning formation flying is now the order of the day and machines were taking the air at sunrise to-day.
Most soldiers on active service show an attachment for various animals and pets and this squadron has proved no exception to the rule. Firmly entrenched as favourite among the canine personnel "on Strength" of the squadron is Felix, who, as mascot of the Photographic Section of the squadron, held the distinction of "Most Photographed Dog" in the squadron.
Whether the diversion he caused on early morning parades had anything to do with it or not – Felix proved himself adept at nipping the Sergt. Major’s ankles at the most awkward moments on parade – he was a most popular figure in the squadron; so to-day there is a general air of gloom about us, for poor Felix while trying to nip the back wheel of a passing lorry slipped and has now been posted "Accidentally Killed on Active Service"!
