    As a little light relief, I thought I'd share this entry from 'The Mosquito Crash Log' : -

    '6/10/44
    HK179 307 Squadron

    Swerved on takeoff and collided with Tempest EJ794, Tempest EJ659, a lorry and finished up in the side of the hangar.

    Crew escaped '

    What the CO said is not recorded ! :eek:

    War is hell......

    Sadly not... a veil has mercifully been drawn over any further details ( BTW, I've just realised that 307 Sqn was, errrm, ahhhhh..... Polish ! :eek: [​IMG] )
