Story is absolutely true. Capt Wilkins was killed with Radio Officer Beaumont on 17/8/43. They had left Leuchars for Stockholm in G-AGGF and then radioed that they were returning. The weather was bad and no more was heard until a gamekeeper found the crash site on 8/9/43 on a mountain near Glen Esk. Wreckage exists there to this day.
