I could swear that I have read somewhere about a pilot crawling to a farmhouse after baling out and being injured, but I'm darned if I can recall where I saw it.
You are quite right about the interviewee trying to remember an old story. He'd been told it by Mr Baker 40 years ago!
If the bail-out/crawling to a farmhouse story ever comes back to you, do please post it here!
