A Story To Tell

This impression by S. Drigin of the method by which a crippled Sunderland Flying boat was brought home from a bombing expedition to Norway. With one wing-tip damaged, the craft began to heel dangerously and it became imperative to have some compensating weight on the other wing. This was provided by members of the crew, who took turns to lie on the wing in the intense cold for a period of five hours while pilot taxied over six miles of choppy sea.
