21 Squadron War Diary

March 30 L.G. 98
A stirring "shoot-up" announced the arrival of the first of the Baltimore Aircraft, for temporary "attachment" to this squadron, pending the arrival of operational aircraft. The machine, which was flown from 223 Squadron, SHANDUR, by Lieut. Mante attracted considerable attention and all ranks were soon examining the new type of aircraft inside and out. The new aircraft will be flown and tested by the squadron in the near future.
