And I seem to remember reading in "Aces and Kings" there was at least one occasion when an Aussie pilot was forced down in the desert and he rode back to base on the wing (or undercarriage it might have been) of a BE2C. (The wind resistance must have nearly caused it to stall!) And on another occasion a forced-down Aussie pilot was picked up by his mate and they couldn't get off the ground so they taxied back many miles across the desert to get back to base.
