    Pretty much - crashed in the Netherlands after a sortie.

    His presence in the aircraft was only discovered when they found a third hand in the wreckage and his name-tag in a sock.

    That aside the mossie was a fantastic aircraft.

    It showed the 6 pounder rapid firing gun version, with the 57mm cannon shell it fired.

    Stunning.

    It also showed the last UK example crashing.

    A somewhat unforgiving aircraft.
