Australia's Few. 8 October 1940

Bill Millington and 249 Squadron continued to be busy. On 8 October, flying V6692 on every occasion, Bill carried out four patrols: the first, at 7.35 a.m., a 45 minute patrol to Rochford; the second, at 9.00, a 55 minute patrol of Hornchurch and Biggin Hill; the third, at 12.20 p.m., another 55 minute patrol of Hornchurch and Biggin Hill; and the final one for the day, a 30 minute two-man patrol. Yet again no action and, yet again, little break between sorties.
