Instructions received from Wing that the Squadron is to move to a landing ground – newly completed – about 15 miles South of ZLITEN. The convoy is to leave here at first light on Sunday, 7 Feb. 43. Our first team played "soccer" against 12 Squadron this afternoon and were the victors by 8 - 1.
Routine Order No. 7/43
No operational flying: Oprep No. 188
On Wing instructions one aircraft conducted a search for a party of three U.D.F.I. details who went out on a gazelle shoot early yesterday morning. It is understood that the lost hunters are new to the desert and have neither compass nor map.
The search was unsuccessful.
