Touch And Go Stephen Brown

Description

Touch And Go-Lancaster Stephen Brown

Lancaster stragglers from 83 Squadron returning over the North Sea in the summer of 1943.
Their mission has taken them deep into enemy territory; having to run a gauntlet of night fighters and flak in both directions.
Many are damaged, low on fuel and carrying wounded crew members; some will not make it to their base at RAF Wyton.
And will put down instead at the nearest possible airfield probably Woodbridge or Coltishall.
