August 10, 1942

L.G. 212, Kasfareet, Egypt

Adjutant proceeded to H.Q., S.A.A.F., on Admin. matters. It has been found that these personal visits to H.Q. can achieve far more and in a shorter space of time than a great deal of correspondence produces. The four Baltimores flown from the Union for this squadron have been located. They are at KASFAREET to where they were flown by the Aircraft Delivery Unit!
Arrangements have been made for our personnel to start work on these aircraft which will require modifications and the installation of Bolton Paul Turrets. Personnel not employed on these aircraft will be absorbed into other maintenance and overhaul duties at 107 M.U. Some artisans of this squadron had already been assisting in the overhaul of Boston aircraft and have been complimented on their work by the Chief Technical Officer, Kasfareet.
The Post Truck returned from CAIRO with a heavy load of parcels –the first for a considerable time and all the more welcome.‍
