A Lancaster has been damaged and is left far behind the main
force to make its own
perilous way home as best it can. Seeing the vulnerability of
their friends, a
Mosquito crew expose themselves to the same dangers, and throttle
back to stay
alongside the injured warbird. Dawn has broken, the visibility
is unlimited. They
have yet to make that Channel crossing and enemy fighters are
in the area. The
crew of the Lancaster struggle to maintain flying speed and enough
height to bring
their large four-engined aircraft home. Perhaps tonight they
will all drink and laugh in the local pub - perhaps!
