My friend who knew Sgt Ralf ‘Tich’ Havercroft was told by him that he was flying as number two to Roger Bushell when he was shot down. Tich saw him standing on the wing of his Spitfire that had bellied landed and radioed to him. Asking if he should land and try to pick him up! Bushell radioed back saying he was ok and would try to make it on foot.
We had ‘Tich’s’ uniform on display at Bletchley Park for a few years until we where forced to close our museum down, the uniform went back to his son.
