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?
