On Black Sunday, 16th April 1944, 2/Lt Arthur Gresens landed In
the Mood at Saidor during the height of confusion when dozens of
returning aircraft tried to cram into the small field.
The bomber drove through burning wreckage of a mid-runway crash and
came to rest against this embankment. None of the crew was injured but
In the Mood was a write-off.
This photo was taken mid-morning the following day, and In the Mood
became one of 37 lost on Black Sunday - Aerothentic has published a
detailed book on the day's misadventures - click here to go to our
