He raised the good leg, shut down one engine, turned the prop to horizontal then started his approach to the main north easterly runway. A short way out he shut down the second engine, used the starter moter to make the prop horizontal and landed wheels up with no damage to the Anson at all.
Remember this, wasn't it in Air Clues and didn't he get a 'Good Show' or whatever it was called ? Also wasn't he Polish ?
