Just a couple of stories which I seem to remember from long ago.
Jimmy Edwards said that he was towing a glider on D-day and was one of the first across the channel. Unfortunately he got lost and had to turn back. This apparently caused chaos because he was now flying head on into the following aircraft.
True? Who knows with Jimmy.
Also John Pertwee (an early Doctor Who) was injured, presumed dead, and woke up in a mortuary. Don't know if this was in action but I hope somebody can enlighten me.
If these memories are confused I apologise since my mind does seem to play tricks lately as witness some of my earlier posts.
