Has anyone ever read Charles Lamb's "War in a Stringbag"?
(Arrow Books ISBN 0 09 918250 5)
The author recounts his experiences flying from Paramythia in the Albanian mountains (an airfield accessible only by air or on foot.
The airfield had to be abandoned in great haste due to rapid German advances and he thought one unserviceable Wellington was left behind. The author himself said "what remains of that lonely Wellington may still be sitting up there, shielded from the weather by the mountains."(page 193)
Unless it was torched or repaired unbeknown to the author I would of thought this may be a good prospect for a recovery???
