The war experiences of 2nd Lt. C. E. Gregory RFC/RAF in 1918
Today was the turn of the turns to be practised, in two different DH.6s:

Date: 3.5.18 Hour: 6.25 Machine type and No.: DH 9762 Passenger: – Time: 15 m Height: 1000 Course: [Aerodrome] Remarks: [Turns etc.]
A day of varied activity, and varying degrees of success. First some aerial combat practice in a DH.6. Secondly an outing in an RE8 to take photos and do a shoot – presumably an artillery shoot, as on 22 April – which this time was recorded as unsuccessful.
