Furnes aerodrome

Flight Sub-Lt. Bolitho was feeling rather cocky. 24 missions and 2 confirmed kills. Then returning from an uneventfull escort mission over the lines he landed and while bounding down the runway let his port wing dip hitting the ground. The light Nieport promptly flipped over sending the young Lt. To the hospital for 12 days. Off to see the nurses, that is if Carrick has left any!


Never approach a bull from the front, a horse from the rear or a fool from either end.
