Info Contributor - Tom Brittan
Missions 11 Jul 44 - 25 Apr 45. Repaired at Woodbridge, Suffolk, 23 Feb - 18 Mar 45 - # 3 engine in which oil pressure was lost causing the propeller to be feathered over the Zuider Zee. All the fluid was lost from the hydraulic system when the line to the bottom of the reservoir was severed, making it necessary to crank down the landing gear manually - plane landed with no flaps or brakes and parachutes were released from the waist windows on this occasion. This was on return from the 22 Feb 45 "low level" (9,000 ft) mission to Peine marshalling yards.
