REFS TO APPENDICES |
| December 1955 Jever |
|
|
This month has been extremely bad from the flying point of view. The squadron
only flying a total of eight days altogether.
The last two aircraft requiring the gun firing modifications were flown to R.A.F.
Lyneham by F/O SANDERSON and F/O SHARMAN.
Again the squadron was handicapped by the number of aircraft in the United
Kingdom. There are now seven awaiting modifications.
This squadron performed the duty of Battle Flight for the period 22nd to 23rd
December. Quite a large proportion of the months flying was done on two days.
Only on one night was night flying possible. |
