On a similar theme, Sgt A Kearsey found himself alone and unarmed in Fairey Battle K9429 pretty much caught up in Stuka formation headed for Portland on 4 July 1940. He beat a hasty retreat!

As to the thread title, my pal Chris Goss called to remind me that the whole story of Ldg Airman Seed is covered in his excellent ‘Luftwaffe Bombers’ Battle of Britain’. Thanks Chris! I knew I had read it somewhere and it was, of course, on my bookshelf.
