May 16th 1940

Heard definitely today that I am not going to Penthos as a S/Ldr armament specialist will be posted there. A.O.C. No.6 Group came over to-day to test the boys they had been doing their stuff all night. Five more pupil pilots arrived in the flights; rumour has it that the new establishment cuts down the flight to flight commander, one pilot or flying officer and one Sergeant pilot. Sgt Nancarrow had been posted on the last batch to France despite all grumbles.
