I go flying with a cold – I go to 8000′ and then dive down gently to earth getting the most fearful pains across my forehead and blockages in my left ear. I rush off to the Doc on landing.

Today signal from 1 sqn that Arjan Singh won’t arrive until 23rd so I suppose I shall have to do this bloody exercise as well. I fly over to Bangalore today to see ‘P’ staff and do some work for G/C as the phone is not working. I have to lay on night flying next week which I don’t somehow fancy.
