The Beaufighter, too, was said by those who knew to be bad in ditching
- heavy for its time and with the way out underneath. I've often
heard my father (who did ASR in the channel) comment that he never saw
anyone get out from a ditched Beau.

Did he by any chance have experience with any Mosquito ditchings? Never heard
of a survivor from one of them either.
