Just great. Lucky we all got back to the same base since we went to different places. In my book it was 6m north of Dunkerque!!

Quite a long trip - 1hr 40min. There were 4 Spits with us, I note, & although we saw 4 Bf109s that were reported to us, they didn't give us any sport. Another fruitless sortie!

Was there anything special with the sortie? I am just wondering why this particular document survived.
By the way, do you have any more photos of the period?
Also, could you compare all three marks of Hurricanes (A, B, C) that you have had on the Squadron? I mean your comment from a pilot's perspective, what did you like and what did you not.
Best wishes
