100 years ago today - 11 October 1916
Weather was unfavourable for observation. Hostile aircraft displayed little activity. A few indecisive combats were recorded.
The single casualty on this date was Lt G Wadden (Pow), 13 Sqn RFC, BE2c 2513 - missing on special mission Douai aerodrome. This was a presentation machine with the name Bandhawa. Night-bombing raids by 13 Sqn were carried out at about 11.30 pm on the night of 10/11 October, Capt G O Brunwin-Hales dropping a dozen 20-lb bombs upon a train in Vitry Station and Capt Sheridan dropping ten 20-lb bombs on the aerodrome at Douai and the rest on a column of infantry on the Gavrelle - Fresnes road. Wadden failed to return from this enterprise. Graeme |
