saw to it that the Airmen were accommodated, and
Johnny MacKnish and I made
for the Officers Mess.

Ütersen was still stood down for Christmas and there was almost no-one
about. The only person present in the Mess was the Duty Officer, so
Johnny and I
were left largely to our own devices. We had dinner, went for a drink in the Keller
Bar, and played a couple of games of skittles in the bowling alley before going to our
rooms to retire for the night.
