Thanks Jon Yes working now,sorry for the late reply. Just one point would the photo have been taken from one frame of a gun camera or still shots?I have seen similar before and wondered what would have happened to the rest of photos/film.

I think I recall reading somewhere that there was cameras fitted at the rear of the planes – looking backwards.

Maybe others can confirm this – or suggest otherwise?

I am not sure whether there are yearly memorials on the date.

No, almost no time to react, when you fly in heights around 40 feet with speeds in excess of 250 miles an hour….it helped, that there was no buildings in front of the Shell House from the side they attacked from, thus getting a free sightline for the last 300-400 metres.
Also I have read that the building on the corner of entry on the lake was very recognizable, being erected in bands of yellow and red bricks in alternating, broad bands.
