means of communication between them and the Wing. Daylight operations, however, continued though tasks were very few. One sortie is worthy of special mention and occurred on Sep 13th when Charles Butt and his navigator, F/Sgt Richardson, flying a Mosquito on daylight operations was attacked by two ME 109's and one engine put out of action before the enemy aircraft were seen. Several more attacks were made by both 109's but, owing to the excellent directions given by Richardson and Charles' evasive action, no more hits were scored and both 109's, having presumably run out of ammunition, formated on the Mosquito which was still flying on one engine. The Germans indicated to the pilot that he was to make a landing in Germany but a signal was returned telling them to "get stuffed" as Charles was now flying roughly in the direction of home and had about enough petrol to get there.

The Mosquito, after being fired at by flak in the Rotterdam area, got back to Brussels, where a belly-landing was made in the dusk and both members of the crew escaped unhurt.     The Wing remained at Amiens for rather less than three weeks when they were ordered to move to Melsbroek Airfield about seven miles north-east of Brussels and the move was completed by Sept 27th. Brussels itself was not fully recov- ered from the Liberation and the Wing were once again under a roof more solid than canvas, though there were many leaks.
