Around 70 years ago, an OCU Lancaster flew down to Somerset from Kinloss on a particularly urgent mission......
....to deliver Spey salmon for a dining-in night at RAF Merryfield. But in doing so, apparently it hopped down the runway in ever-increasing bounces until the QFI took control. Much to the amusement of the resident Vampire flyers!
Apparently after it came to a standstill, a car drove over to the mighty bomber. Out came the salmon, then the car drove off and the Lanc about turned and rattled off back to Scotland.
