I am always fascinated by log book entries. Quite often the single line entry hides a great deal more. My log books have entries that instantly bring back memories and some that I think 'what did we do that for ?'
As regarding a/c serviceability maintaining a/c away from a main base (especially in the desert and the far east) in war time is a far more challenging task than doing it back at a base in the UK. The pressures to get the a/c out, the lack of spares and the conditions under which the groundcrew had to work are often greatly underestimated. Perhaps Danny can comment on this aspect .
