259311 P/O. John Maurice Maples Royal Air Force No. 210 Squadron from:Sheffield My father, Pilot Officer John Maples, was posted to the Shetland Islands, RAF Sullom Voe, from April 1944 until June 1945. He then joined No. 86 Squadron transporting troops to India via Cairo West until de-mobilisation in January 1946. He told me many stories about his time in the Shetland Islands, of which one has always intrigued me. Apparently, there was an instance when a Mosquito pilot flying on one engine had to make an emergency landing. After doing so, the pilot took hours to stop shaking. I once read a piece on Guy Gibson VC, and he was forced to make an emergency landing at Sullom Voe that proved difficult. I will always wonder.
