Walter Eacott Revisits Beaufighter

Last November 10^th was a significant date for Walter Eacott as he clambered through a Beaufighter at Moorabbin Air Museum. It turned out that it was 72 years to the day since he was last shot down in such an aircraft and ended up in the Aegean Sea, after which he was interred in Stalag Luft IVb.

Walter commented that it was much easier to move through the confined spaces of a Beaufighter when he was 20 years old. More photographs and some discussion on Walters visit can be found at the PPRuNe website (click here).
