Scrambled Eggs

SCRAMBLED EGGS

While stationed at Wellingore, Lincs. (satelite to Digby) in late 1941-42, John McColl,(of  McColl-Frontenac fame), B Flight Commander in 412 squadron, discovered a source for fresh farm eggs.

 He kept them  in his room securely guarded until each morning he would put a couple in his pocket to be taken to the mess for his breakfast. Needless to say he was the envy of the Squadron.

. One morning the squadron was scrambled (ordered to fly) while John was enroute to the mess   He hastily joined the squadron in an uneventful flight returning   safely. The only casualty was the eggs  in his pocket.

 For several days after, as he stood discussing the days events, John could be seen casually  extracting bits and pieces of egg shells from his now grease-stained pocket.
