Advice was received by telephone from S.A.A.F. H.Q., that Capt. F.C. HUNT would be assuming duty as Adjutant of the squadron shortly.
Flying training was again continued at a late hour tonight.
General
A few remarks may be made in summing up the general activities of the month.
After a prolonged period of inactivity, the squadron is rapidly approaching the “go” mark so far as operations are concerned, and there are indications that we may not have long to wait before we do become operational. Plans are already being formed for a drive by the Allied forces in Egypt and the squadron will doubtless be bearing its full weight in this effort.
Morale among all sections is good and it requires but operations – the panacea for most troubles in a unit – to raise the standard even higher.
Health has been fairly good but there has been some incidence of Malaria, some of which has been contracted locally. All cases admitted to No. 106 General Hospital, situated conveniently near, are progressing favourably.
Sport is now well organised in the squadron and football matches against neighbouring units amongst squadron personnel have helped to raise the standard of fitness among ground and flying crews.
