The navigator bailed out, was caught up but the engineer released him with a knife and both came down safely.

Eddie had done about 800 hours on Wellingtons but his preferred aircraft was the Lancaster. Eddie then got posted as an instructor and flew Oxfords and Mosquitos. He was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross.]]>
