Our CO was always quiet -we rarely saw him, especially after we received this type 'F' Blenhiem mk.1 -all black and sporting some kind of new-fangled radar antennas. Well she was towed into our only hanger for some kind of secret field modifications, and our crazy but brilliant ground crew, led by Will Franklin (sometimes the guys would call him 'Doc Frankenstein') commenced to perform their magic. It seems the CO and the doc had acquired (stolen) a pristine pair of Vickers 40mm cannons which they proceeded to shoehorn into the type F's gun gondola. No sooner did the question of how to test her crop up when we received a frantic distress call from a hillside encampment facing the water manned by our Greek allies. An Axis gunboat with superior range and calibre was making an awful mess of things.... After a rather hurried pre-flight check we were off!

(We heard tell later there was a bit of yelling and cheering as she headed towards Davey Jones' locker)
