Sgt. Alfred George Mullins DFM.

Royal Air Force 61 Sqd.

from:Bristol

In 1943, P.O.Parsons the pilot, and my father, Sgt A.G.Mullins the flight engineer were landing at RAF Syerston in Lancaster QR-L, they touched down and half way down the runway the undercarriage collapsed. Everyone hung on for dear life as the Lanc careered onward off the runway and through the fences into a potato field where it came to a halt.

The engineer's foot rest bar, which was quite thick was bent. The field was full of potato pickers who were quite upset and started throwing some of their potato's at the stricken aircraft. After hours of flying over enemy lands, slight flack damage, but successful return they get potato's thrown at them!

This story was told to me when I was young by my father Flt Lt A.G.Mullins DFM.
