I was brought up near RAF Wattisham. An old man who had been in the Home Guard told me about the night that a Lancaster force landed in a field after running out of fuel in the 'stack'. He told me how the aircraft landed intact but that the fuselage snapped in two as it crossed a ditch. The Home Guard ran to the rescue. I can still remember his incredulous comment in a broad Suffolk accent:
"Eight of they buggers we found in there bor !"
They all survived apparently.
