SURENDERED TO AEROPLANE.
One tussle we had behind the Hun lines was with a huge convoy, which was bringing up ammunition and rood for the Hun troops, writes a member of the R.P.C. We spread ourselves over this cunvoy and dropped bombs at four different points. The explosions followed each other in quick succession, and apnic seized the troops escorting the convoy. Some of the men signified their readiness to surrender, and we were then in a position to gratify their wjshes, and our amused Tommies were given the spectacle of aeroplanes bringing in captured infantry. That was one of the best week-ends I have ever spent. All the air service asks is to be given a chance of spending its week-ends like that, and Fritz wil rue the day we cnught the week-end baTrit.
