On 13 Feb 46 a Dakota of 435 Sqn crashed on approach to Croydon with the loss of 8 lives.
One of the passengers could not be found immediately but it transpired that he was an RAF officer who simply left the crash site and made his own way to London because, quote: 'he didn't want to be late for a meeting at Air Ministry'!!
So this man left 8 dead people and another 8 injured people to fend for themselves, so as not to keep anybody in Adastral House waiting. Such devotion to duty!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Old Duffer (still can't believe it)
