In ' 56 the re- formed Luftwaffe was in the hangar next to ours at RAF Wahn. They had one aircraft, a Heron ser. no. 001 and it was their pride and joy. One day it was parked opposite our Meteor NF 11s and as one taxied out the pilot failed to turn right (brake failure?) and taxied into the Heron damaging the wing and an engine. At his subsequent interview the pilot, after his bollocking apparently, was congratulated for grounding the Luftwaffe, even though it was 16 years too late!
