The damage was first seen from land and was notified to the pilot in the sky by a wireless message. The pilot was instructed to make for the sea and land in shallow water, which he did, being picked up by a rowing boat. BACK ACH Y? Lame and achy in the morning? Tor tured with backache all day long?
