cardboard_killer Posted February 22, 2020 Posted February 22, 2020 'An He-111H 5/KG 26 is forced to land in a remote field near St Abbs Head in Berwickshire with smoke streaming from one engine. Squadron Leader Douglas Farquhar of No. 602 Squadron, who brought it down wants to prevent the Germans from destroying the intact plane, so lands his Spitfire beside it. The Germans watch with disbelief as the Spitfire trundles down the hill and cartwheels into a bog. After pulling their injured rear gunner out and setting fire to the plane, the Germans rush down the hill to rescue Farquhar who is suspended upside down in his harness. Local Defense Volunteers (later called Home Guard) arrive and arrest everyone, including Farquhar who eventually convinces their commander that he is “one of the goodies”. ' 1 2
