blind pew.......... Interesting you mention "Bwana Drum". I lived next to his parents in Nairobi for a while. In David's own book no mention is made of the aircraft having been stressed in a previous flight. The wing was sliced off by a support wire of VHF mast; they had been dropping a message canister at low level. David recovered from the accident and went on to fly for East African Airways: finally becoming head of security for EAA. Those Lancasters were Lincolns !! Remember lying in my bed at Nyeri Primary and hearing the bombing on the Aberdares.
