Mosquito HR152/S: Took off at 00:30 hrs for Intruder bombing patrol over Jagel airfield. 17/08/1944
During their sortie over the aerodrome at Jagel Mosquito HR152 came under fire from Fleckeby just after reaching the target at 02:20 hrs and was hit in the starboard wing by some unidentified object. The aircraft immediately set course for home at 02:22 hrs. It wasn't until they returned to base and inspected their aircraft did they realise that they had flown into a cable which had acted like a cheese wire and neatly severed three feet off the starboard wing and all but twelve inches of the aileron. Despite this Mack brought home his aircraft from the 430 miles trip and landed safely at 04:15 hrs.17/08/1943
Crew:
S/Ldr (40244) Arthur William MACK (pilot) RAF - Ok
F/Sgt (1475435) Walter HARRISON (obs.) RAFVR - Ok
