Mosquito G-AGFV (ex.DZ411): Took off for Cargo flight to Stockholm /Bromma airport. 23/04/1943
During the flight was attacked at 14:10 hrs by Uffz Kienle of I/JG11. Damaged by FW 190 fighter enroute. It was recognised by Luftwaffe as a claim. Diverted to Barkarby with hydraulic trouble and made belly landing.
When Capt. Rae was attacked some time ago over enemy-occupied territory his aircraft was damaged by cannon fire and the undercarriage hydraulic system was put out of action. By the most skilful evasive tactics and exceptional coolness in a most hazardous situation, he was able to avoid further damage, to shake off his assailant, and eventually make a forced-landing in Sweden with the undercarriage retracted. The forced-landing was made with such skill that comparatively little damage was done to the aircraft. Repaired.
Crew:
Capt. (71751) Gilbert RAE OBE (pilot) BOAC /RAFO - Ok
