An amazing story. More
link This guy was lucky,
"While serving with the 85 Squadron in RAF Hunsdon, Hertfordshire, Mr Hemingway was forced to bail out of his Havoc night fighter at 600ft (183m) due to instrument failure in bad weather. He broke his hand on the tail section and his parachute failed to open, with the chute catching on the branches of a tree." His service is an inspiration to all. |
