Meget ofte blev flyverne i deres fly så længe som muligt - og så
kunne det være for sent.

Man skulle finde og fastgøre faldskærmen, finde en nødudgang og springe ud så tidligt at faldskærmen kunne nå at folde sig ud.

On 2 May 1942 MAN L7399 crashed near Lilholt west of
Haderslev (here) on a minelaying operation.

Very often the airmen stayed in their planes as long as possible -
and then it might be too late.

An airman had to find and fasten his parachute, find an emergency
exit and bail out so early that there was time for the parachute to
open up.
