Thanks guys.

Sadly sounds like a victim of Push-on-itis, but one wonders if he was just acutely aware of deteriorating weather over the target, which had been switched late on due to weather. I also didn't realise he was so inexperienced on the Mossie, as was his Nav.

Reading around this last flight, it sounds like an RGF, switching aircraft late on, flying with the Station Nav who had a letter on him etc etc.

A bit like Bader, he seems to have attracted a lot of dislike from his peers as well as some form of adulation. Complex character.

Worth a read on Wiki.
