Mission Report: Wobbly Wheel
An aborted mission for the crew of Wobbly Wheel
with the aircraft and all crew members returning safely to base.
The flight was uneventful until zone 5 when we were hit in both wings and the tail by an unspotted ME-110, who was shaken off after his first run. Freddie Marsden, the Flight Engineer, quickly realised that we were losing fuel from the port wing and calculations of estimated flying time unfortunately gave us no option but to abort and head for home.
With one eye nervously watching the instruments we luckily managed to land the crate safely back at base.
Respectfully,
Pilot Officer Jack Kirkham
314 Squadron Wobbly Wheel
