Scrambled Eggs

                                                      SCRAMBLED EGGS

While stationed at Wellingore, Lincs. (satellite 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 day’s events, John could be seen casually extracting bits and pieces of egg shells from his now grease-stained pocket.
