Transcription
Coincidentally at elementary school, I was shot. And I am one of the two Canadians that was shot in an air force air plane, during the war in Canada. And I still have the, you can see some of the buck shot is still on my fingers and my hips and that. What happened, it was about, towards the end of the course and we were lolly-gagging around and started chasing ducks on the river. And I saw this one group of ducks over by the shore. So I came back in across the shore line and I was dragging my, the wheels of the Tiger Moth through the reeds. And there was a thump, a bang and I went over the ducks and they didn't fly, they were decoys. So, I turned around to see what we'd hit and what I had done was taken the top off a duck blind and there's 3 hunters in it. And I be, I suppose top of the ceiling with the tip of my wing, I was right down on the deck. And I'm looking down and all three of them have their guns pointed at the aircraft. And then I see flames coming out of the tip of the barrel. And then I feel the sting of these bullets hitting me. So, it proved one thing that, that your eyesight is faster then buck shot because I saw those flames before I felt the sting of the pellets. So, I got out of there in a hurry but now I got an aircraft with 200 holes in it and you're 5 000 miles from Germany. So, what do you tell the CO? Anyway, it was quite a story but it worked out okay and I got away with it.
