Thanks for the Lancaster VC link:
Norman Cyril Jackson VC
What a feat of ridiculous courage.
After he'd finished his tour as well.
Once his parachute had deployed in the cockpit, he must've been adrenalin super-charged.
Those RAF "fire-extinguishers" were useless too.
Hand-pumped Carbon Tetrachloride devices, heavy and small, not sufficient to douse an engine fire in a hangar, let alone in mid-air. He'd have needed two hands to pump the extinguisher.
In retrospect, the better option would have been to all bail out orderly, but his bravery gave them a chance of getting home.
