"Honeychile"

During a strike of Germany industry at Köln (Cologne), Honeychile suffered engine problems. These failures forced LT Olson (Pilot) to leave formation and make for England. The crew had to eventually bail out, and the autopilot landed the aircraft near Liege, Belgium. The bombs exploded during the landing. Unexploded ordinance is visible in the photo below.
