Clubfoot

A ghostly NCO also made a comeback at the former base. Sergeant Sinclair was in charge of loading bombs onto the aircraft here during the Second World War; a mistake caused a bomber to explode on take off, killing Sinclair while he was trying to flag the aircraft down to alert them to the error.
