12 June 1917

Hot day. Poor view. Balloons up most of of day. Very severe thunderstorm and heavy rain in evening.

Visited No 215 and 38 Sections in afternoon and found everything all right. No 38’s balloon leaking rather badly at diagonal seams.

Went to No 25, who complained that their balloon was unsteady and arranged to make a trip in it and adjust rigging.

Dined at 5th Coy HQ.

Drury was posted to Wing.  Very dud.
