04-04-1941 FridayT2177 AD-V , Mk IV damaged by friendly AA fire when attempting to drop unfused bombs for NZ Sappers to destroy a bridge, on returning to Larissa the undercarriage collapsed and they found that the Eastern Wing HQ had been evacuated leaving them stranded there. P/O G. Green, Sgt Gingell, and Sgt Jamieson unhurt. Aircraft was further damaged during air attack on 15/04/41 and abandoned.
These boys were having a really "bad day", first they escape death after getting shot at by their own people, seriously damaged they miraculously then limp home only to crash upon landing at the base. Again miraculously uninjured, climbing from the wreck they find that the whole squadron has up and left "without telling them", then to top off their day they find out they are stranded on a base about to be over run by the Germans. You can almost hear the curses and wisecracks between the boys this day. Serial T2177 - V

LAC Sgt. Norman Say comments in his memoirs: I did hear later that after we evacuated the Larissa airport the German paratroopers arrived there the next day, and some months later we saw a picture of them examining our aircraft in Picture Post. Also we were told that our kitbags had been collected up and Lord Haw-Haw read out our names as having been killed in Greece. I don't think anyone at home heard about it.
