| |
| With complete disregard for himself and his navigator, Colin Hamble |
| threw his Mosquito around the sky like a madman. His only thought was |
| to ruthlessly kill his enemy. |
| |
| Well, the day came when he was given something a lot slower than a |
| Mossie - a Walrus amphibian with a top speed of about 130mph. Colin |
| soon found that saving lives needed a lot more guts and skill than |
| taking them! |
| |
| Introduction |
| |
| Mention a Commando air story to someone and there's a good chance |
| they'll describe aerial action involving sleek fighters like Spitfires, |
| Me109s, Corsairs or Zeroes - and they'd be right to, of course. |
| However, it's good when a tale does something different, focussing |
| on a lesser-known aircraft - like the Supermarine Walrus, for example. |
| These trusty amphibian bi-planes were a sight for sore eyes for many a |
| downed pilot - for they were used for vital RAF air-sea rescue |
| missions, their brave crews saving many lives. Proving once again that |
| Commando's format has the scope to tell stories that can be a little |
| less obvious than what might be expected. |
