B Flight Ground Crew, Gar-Darbia, Tripolitania, May 1943

Les told me of the time when the CO was off base and Les and a few others borrowed the CO's car (without his knowledge) but they got caught in a sand storm and when they returned the car all of the paint had been stripped from it. 

I think when they got back they just parked it and kept quiet . . .
