100 Squadron Group have been making the most of the long sumnrer days and recently set up what they believe to be a record for one Cay's flying. Starting with a first take-off at 3.30 a.m. (on Monday, 24th June) they proceeded to flog their faithful Tiger until l0 p.rn. that evening. Twenty-seven people took part including John Miles, the group's C.F.l. Arthr-rr Crisp tells me that crew changes took 30 secs. and refuelling two minutes. witli the exception of the flrst and last refuellings which took three minutes. Arthur also tells me that their barbecue was also very successful and that most of Biggin Hill turned up to see a couple of Maggie vrings burn.

The group has also held a successful yor-rth weekend in conjunction with tlie Norfolk County Council' Despite the unsettled weather the week-end went smoothly and everyone enjoyed themse'lves and the day's flying. The course was entitled "An introduction to flying" and was designed to encourage a limited number of trainees to take further flying training with the group. All expenses for the course are borne by the Norlolk Education Committee. G-ANFO is now back on the group's strer-rgth after its C' of A. together with a Turbulent on loan from the Tiger Club.
