Crashed Mosquito
in a field near the Airdrome RAF Banff, Aberdeenshire, Scotland 1943 -
1945
Note from Les Taylor:
Angus McIntosh who made what Max
Aitken told him that it wass 'the best belly landing he'd ever seen',
although Angus says they almost hit the control tower as they came in
without flaps, undercarriage or hydraulics after a strike. Angus was
awarded the DFC, and was (as records will show) was singularly credited
with the destruction of a U-boat in April 1945. Unfortunately, the U-boat
which exploded after Angus's attack, brought down an RAF film unit mossie
as well, with flying debris, and both crew members were killed.
