Mosquito W4066: Took off at 10:00 hrs for a high level photo exercise over southwest England. 22/05/1944
Trouble was experienced with the coolant temperature on the starboard engine, when necessitated opening the radiators. When the temperature reached 120 degrees he feathered the starboard engine; unfeathered at 60 degrees, and feathered again when the temperature rose again. He finally made an emergency landing at Station Babdown Farm. The problem was a technical failure, the starboard engine having developed an internal coolant leak.
