The C.O. went to a conference with the A.O.C. WD. this morning accompanied by the other C.O.'s of the Wing. He returned in a hurry to get the Squadron off on our first show from this L.G.
We sent 18 Aircraft to bomb a spot South of MARETH. The show quite a success. Oprep 224. Sortie Report. Crew List. Seven aircraft were holed. Some of them had quite a few. The C.O.’s looked like a sieve. Captain CORMACK had a hole through his air oil cooler and had to come back on one engine. He made a very good landing. The only casualty of the show was Lt. v. d. MEULEN, who had an A/A splinter in his toe. He will be in the Sqn. sick bay for about three days.
