1. In October, nearly all work on the airfield at Nowy Dwor (Tiegenhof - Q55/!71) was
stopped as a result of a shortage of workers. A. new type of porous plate was used
in the construction of the runways on the airfield; this plate permits the grass
to sprout through the perforations, so the runways will eventually resemble the
rest of the field. Source states that such porous plates were also used at Radom,
when it was enlarged and modernized.
2. Because of the long period of rain in November, the Nowy Dwor Airfield was partly
flooded and the ground work was again interrupted. It was reported that part of
the completed drainage canals were destroyed. Work other than the ground work has
not yet started.
