Transcription
We did a lot of stuff in Egypt and nearby; well probably the most noteworthy thing was they made us a fighter for a while and they put some machine guns in the wings and I forget if they put one on the nose or not. And they sent us out, what’s his name, Rommel, had a big ammunition dumps in Durna so he could shell Tobrook at will and so they told us we were one aircraft, that’s all that could be spared and so we went out to get the bomb dump in Durna which we did. Blew it up and that was that.
