D.C.3 Elevator Locks

Many years ago, a B.O.A.C. Captain told me that during the war he took off in an R.A.F D.C.3 from an airfield in Calcutta, with the external elevator locks in place.
He went on to say that once he realised what he had done, he did a very cautious circuit and landed.
Was he spinning a yarn, or could this be true?
