The crew had an engine fail on the Op to Konigsberg 26/27.8.44 and had a long slow trip, on the Op to Harburg they had electrical trouble and the intercom failed which made an early return necessary, on the op to Ladbergen Canal 21/22.11.44, 2 engines failed and they decided to try to land at Woodbridge, which was a long runway specially for landing damaged A/C, as they had no brakes, immediately after landing a third engine failed. |
