And that three 56sqn Hurricane pilots shot a Dornier17Z down on the beach at Whitstable in Kent. Seconds later, the engine of one burst into flames and he made a split-ass belly landing nearby, tripping into a cowpat in his haste to leave his burning aircraft. He was the only one of the airmen involved in that action to survive the war…
52 years later I nearly killed my stupid self on its bomb load…
RIP all of you.
