Monday 27 May 1918 – Last Day of Training

So this was it. The last day of training in a (relatively) safe environment, with no-one wishing you harm, and no one shooting at you from the ground or the air.

The last day at Hursley Park/Worthy Down was evidently something of a recap, with a shoot (complete with ground strips) and zone calls being rehearsed.  Not a bad thing, either.
