It was shown on (US) "Discovery Wings" Channel tonight, as just one segment of RAF Coastal Command. They have various features on "The Wings of Britain".
I have never seen a story on the near disaster, where there was a fire in one, then both right engines, which could have quickly burned the wing off. The Flt. Lt. received an award for his superb handling of the double engine fire. Only 'minor' injuries among the crew. The sea was very calm that day and they splashed down very fast with no flaps-the fuselage later split in half as it floated for a while, but they ditched only five miles from RAF Lossiemouth.
On another channel at the same time was a "History Int'l Channel" show on the Battle of Britain. What a choice, after a tiring four-day trip through the crappy, bumpy skies of the Great Lakes- and only two pilots (bad galley coffee), lots of gauges/switches crammed into panels with NO modern cockpit automation, nor autobrakes!
