Previous pages of the Log Book are signed off by JM Rickards, the commanding officer, with a simple initial. However, this page is signed by Rickards (Major, OC No.21 RS), JM Matheson (Lt, O/C 'B' Flight, Lt GCH Culley for OC 'C' Flight, and a Machburn (Major, OC No.22 RS, RFC) and that officer also stamped the record with date 8.2.17.
