100 years ago today on the Western Front - 2 November 1917
FRIDAY, 2 NOVEMBER 1917
General Headquarters, November 3rd.
"On the 2nd inst. unfavourable weather conditions greatly interfered with flying, and there is nothing to report."
During the night of the 1st/2nd and the following day, low clouds and heavy ground mist almost entirely prevented aerial work.
A successful reconnaissance of enemy wire was carried out by Major Tyson and Capt Owen, of No 5 Squadron, from a height of 100 feet. They also fired 200 rounds into the enemy trenches.
RNAS - Weather poor. Mist and rain.
