Lincolns seem to be prone to this sort of thing.

Back in the 1950s (yes, I’m that old!) at a RAAF maintenance base in Queensland, our long-nose Lincolns in the hangars creaked and banged a lot at night. This was due to extreme temperature differences between night and day.

National servicemen (“Nashos”) sometime did guard duty at night and, more than once, the regulars in the guardroom were called out to rescue one who was sure he was being haunted and couldn’t take it any more.

I attended one of these sorties once, and the young Nasho was standing in the middle of the tarmac well away from the hangar. He was as white as a ghost himself!
