Allx [sic] are showing signs of operational strain. This has been aggravated by the fact that they feel that their pilot is now becoming very tired and unable to handle his aircraft as he used to. On his last few landings following operational sorties they state he has shown faulty judgment. This on top of the strain of flying on operations is having a marked effect. 2. F/Lt. Nicklin and F/O. Martin have done 32 trips and the rest of the crew 31. They have been attacked four times during their tour on one occasion having to “ditch”. 3.
