21 Squadron War Diary

3rd Nov. L.G. 021
The Benghasi "Old Boys" had another innings today when nine Marylands of "A" flight under leadership of Major "Mike" Fowler attacked BERKA aerodrome near BENGHASI. Weather conditions were foul, visibility almost nil and no results were observed. It was not one of our best efforts. In the evening the Squadron was kept on the "qui vive" by the jerries bombing of FUKA. Quite a few tons of H.E. must have been showered down.
