The same fellow now owns and flies the exact same Tiger Moth that he flew back in 1943!
Cheers !

I believe him..
I saw a picture once of an Anson that safely landed with another Anson piggy backed in mid air on top of it..Both crews survived and they didn't look damaged in the pix I saw..
It happened.

Back in WW2 at the height of the BCATP the sky was full of aircraft. The BCATP employed 10,000 "yellow perils" over 800 cadets killed and 2500 in total including instructors, WAGs,AGs,Os,Ns Bs and unfortunately some joyriders. That must have been a well printed picture as I have a copy somewhere. Also my good friend and veteran WAG Mike Hickie took this picture at Claresholm, Alta. Cessna Crane poor landing, no one killed amazingly.
