Form 540 No operational flying but some practice bombing at the range, during which one of the Squadrons new pilots, F/SGT LAZARUS,was killed in the Spitfire RR.205. The machine was seen to explode in the air the pilot being killed instantaneously. Even though F/SGT LAZARUS had only been with us a few days, he had made himself very popular with the pilots and groundcrew. The C.O. flew to the United Kingdom to visit the Dutch Air Directorate.
