L.G. 98

We are reduced to one aircraft to operate with, one having had to be surrendered to Ballah Training centre and two being at KASFAREET for engine change. It's a bit of a handicap trying to train a squadron full of keen and enthusiastic pilots on one Baltimore. The training of the MALTA crews is progressing slowly without any fireworks.
Another week end in prospect and Alex. beckons all who can be spared to the attractions of the sea or the squash court or the Royal sport of Kings at which latter quite a few of our boys have lost their "shirts"!
