General Report

I partook in lieutenant Richard's flight for the relocation mission. I was number two, while Bemmo was number three. We took off from the airfield of Melsbroek and made a counter-clock circle towards our flight checkpoints near Antwerpen. The flight was uneventful and we saw no guns, nor tommies or Yanks in the air. Once we arrived at the city of Antwerpen we made a right turn towards the east, then circled back into a landing pattern. During the final turn, I lost my flight lead and levelled out, then regained contact and dove onto number three's 6'o clock. I landed after the leader as Bemmo had trouble in the final and made another pass. Neither aircraft suffered damage to any vital parts, just some paint during the landing. Signed, Pilot officer Eric Shaw. 41st Squadron, A flight.
