Re: Crew of Mosquito PRI serial W4056 - info required
From an obit for Hutchinson:
"Hutchinson's flying days were not over and he went on to fly unarmed Spitfire reconnaissance missions before being shot down by Me109s over Norway on a long-range mission in a specially adapted Mosquito fighter-bomber. He landed despite the tail being shot off and his navigator calmly fired a Verey pistol into a pool of petrol, blowing up the plane. Eventually they were met by a Luftwaffe officer who said in perfect English: "We've been waiting for you for a while. "I'm afraid our coffee's cold, but have some schnapps instead." Hutchinson spent the rest of the war in Stalag Luft 3 the prisoner of war camp of Wooden Horse and Great Escape fame." |
