Wiggles audition here I come.

Nobody likes to be late. Important matters deserve respect. Imagine. You're on your way to the Wiggles audition for the (new) Black Wiggle. You've rehearsed your routine and even have your prop boat wheel ready. You're confident and looking good. But just as you're looking toward your bright future fate, in the guise of a boatload of Norwegians (that's a lot of Norwegians), take it upon themselves to share in your dreams. The only problem is that there's not enough dream to share.

 What to do?

    Yes, I remember this. The Highland Queen ends up being fitted with explosives and ramming a pocket battleship. Can't remember the title though.

      It is War Picture Library number 87 Colours Flying. If you can recall another one I'll see if I've got it and take some snapshots.

    Well there was one where a swordfish crew updated to covered-cockpit albacores and torpedoed an Italian cruiser (Littorio) which rammed another cruiser (Vincenzo), both sank!

    I had a quick look, by pulling out covers with swordfish, and couldn't find this one amongst my collection. However it sounds like an early issue.

    I mentioned Fear at 5000 earlier, which you featured (thanks). There was another one, could have been War Picture Libraey or Air Ace, where a pilot/skipper was considered a jinx. His Lancaster crew were picked off one by one until only he survived. Years later he found the Lanc in a scrapyard with its identification switch (?) left on, proving he wasn't at fault.

      That sounds like it could be Bomber's Grave. I'll confirm soon.

      I just finished Bombers' Grave it's a fantastic story but not the one you're looking for.

    Title didn't ring a bell. My one had a former lanc pilot finding his old aircraft in a scrap yard. 'Seventeen years after the war' or similar. His crew hated him. The wireless op left the identity friend or foe switch on which apparently gave away the aircraft's position to flack and fighters.
