This morning we sent five machines with 13 Bostons to bomb M.T. on the road just North of GABES. The raid was fairly successful the A.A.was not too kind but no damage was done. In the afternoon we sent another six machines with 12 Bostons to bomb an Aerodrome near SFAX but the formation met cloud and they had to turn back without reaching the target area. This afternoon we heard the distressing news that Lt. WEIR had been killed in a crash at SERTAN, where he was flying at 51 R.S.U. No details are available as yet. Sortie Report 245 and Oprep 245 with Crew List.
