An awfully funny thing happened here this morning. A Hun scout machine lost his way in the clouds and came down over our aerodrome thinking he was somewhere over on the German side. He had got down to a few hundred feet when he noticed our machines on the ground and found out his mistake. Twelve of our scouts got into the air in about as many seconds and when the poor Hun saw what he was up against he came down as fast as he could. He landed a few miles from here crashing his machine rather badly unfortunately. He is at this moment being entertained by Jack Scott’s squadron across the aerodrome. They’ll probably fill him up with "Bubbly" and get him to tell all he knows and after that he’ll be sent to England and will live in comfort for the duration of the war.
