No need to SHOUT! I've only been flying in one of these for 8 hours and what about the Khasi, that was something different. Time for a smoke methinks. Today these fliers don't know how we all roughed it.

1066 and all that, meaning Hastings

'Splashdown in the Med TG613' 22nd July 1953 read about this on the main header of website

Russell Wright the son of Flight Lietenant J C Wright has made contact to inform me that his father (the pilot of TG613) was awarded the Air Force Cross (AFC) in the New Years Honours Awards of 1954.

From Russell Wright son of a Hastings pilot

There is another entry in his log regarding WJ 336 "Extremely good airmanship in landing Hastings WJ336 on three engines with a piece of cowling embedded in the tail plane. Necessitating an approach speed of 150kts at a poorly illuminated airfield at dusk on 7th Sept 1952"

I wonder what happened to the engine erk after this episode?
