Cyril Woolly Maj , Rfc, Instructor Pilot B Flight Commander 10 Victorys, 40 Sqn, Bryas, AF Flanders France.
July 1 , 1918 B flights sweep area was down by Fricourt. We Flew at 12,000 so to have height advantage over them. Sure enough an enemy flight appeared and as soon as we turned my Motor went u/s. I nosed over and lost a few thousand feet but was able to re-start. Looking up I saw e/a coming down and picked up a couple on my tail. after a wild few minutes , and wild shooting. I nosed over and ran for it. The mec's said it was Icing again. B Flight claimed 2 e/a but lost 1 SE.
