In Larry Milberry's excellent book

Sixty Years: The RCAF and CF Air Command 1924-1984

[0-9690703-4-9 available from Larry's own CANAV Books]

 

He tells of a Seargent Arrowsmith who, while at Camp Bordon, was forced out onto the wing of a Fairey Battle by fire but still manages to make a successful crash landing from wing-side !

An amazing story and a really cool picture [Bert Phillips collection] to go with it
