GOOD TRIP TO HONG KONG "We took off for Hong Kong at 5.55 am. to-day and had a very good trip all the way,"

Regarding their return trip Wing Commander said that it was their original intention to fly back to Singapore via Mantia and Labuan, but we have wired the Base for further instructions, as We have lost a day in repairs. We will pro- bably spend four days in Manila and one night at Labuan, making & total trip of nine days."

The following comprise the crew of the two boats:-
