Field report:
The reception comittee was on the spot between 2203 hrs and 0300 on the night between 28th and 29th April. Several planes passed over us during the night, but none of then answered our signal.
Skriveren på Tempsford hadde en dårlig dag. Han skrev "Completed" i loggen, mens MR'en og Field rapporterer sier "Not completed".
Det var 5 NC og 7 C fra Tempsford denne natten, samtlige til Norge så han kunne ikke vært stresset. Dette var det første flyet som landet, det neste kom inn 4 timer og 3 min senere.
