21 Squadron War Diary

16th L.G. 021
Two more shows today on MARTUBA WEST Lauding Ground. The first show was conducted in real bad weather 10/10ths cloud most of the way and our bombs were released at some buildings on a coastal road as the target could not even be located.The afternoon show as also impeded by dense clouds, so poor was the visibility that the leader decided to bomb the alternative target at DERNA drome. The results were evidently good but as clouds obscured the target no suitable photographs were available.
