LG to Presque Isle with Major Squabley Vine. WX open at LG - Went over reported Cig O. Vis 1/4 but first pass was 250 ft 1/2 mile. Improve almost to CAVU during 3 or 4 passes. Localizer there did not line up with runway. Made passes at Manchester, Bangor. None line up. Glide path at Bangor erratic. Believe need something more accurate and reliable for approaches below 200 ft.

Discussion with Vine reemphasizes need for proficiency testing in AAF.

Vine described tests of icing in B-24 with hot wing. Said ice reformed just ahead or [[ailerons?]] in quantity sufficient to prevent control. Became dangerous.
