Sunday 26 May 1918 – Two Shoots

On his penultimate flying day at Hursley Park/Worthy Down, Greg is in intensive training for his work with the artillery on the Western Front.  Two shoots today, one marred by a dodgy engine (a problem that would be recurrent on active service) and the other recorded as successful.
