Letter: Letters: Prang

Published 8 June 1991

From B. DERBYSHIRE

Roger Worsley, in sounding off about Halifax engines, has shot himself
in the port outer, or something (Letters, 25 May).

Halibags had Merlins or Hercules engines: Pegasi were to be found on
Hampdens and Swordfish.

At least Barry Fox supplied us with a Halifax – I would have been less
surprised to see a Lancaster.

‘Whoops’ indeed! Same to you, Roger . . .
