Abstrakt: The article in FlyPast discusses the Amiens Raid, specifically focusing on the Mosquito HX909 EG-C and the Kiwi crew who piloted it. The crew, consisting of Merv Darrall and Fred 'Steve' Stevenson, had a lifelong friendship and flew together throughout the war. The article also mentions Operation Jericho and the regret that Stevenson felt for not receiving awards for the raid.
