Hot rather windy day. Low clouds in morning. All balloons up.

 

Started on leave which begins tomorrow. Meyler and I went to 1 AD and got a machine across to Lympne near Folkestone. We left 1 AD (St Omer) at 4pm and landed at Lympne at 5.5 pm. Rather a bumpy day. Very clear view. We went over in Bristol Fighters. Just missed 23 Huns raiding England. The Huns were at Dover at 5.15 pm.

 

Arrived in Town at 8.30 pm.
