There is movie (VCR) footage showing a 485 Sqn Spitfire Vb W3579:O “Southland II” in the tide on the French coast after being forced down due to flak damage while being flown by Wg Cdr E N Ryder.
Does anyone know the title(s) of the film and is it still available?

Wow, twelve years to get a response to the question! That could be some kind of record. 🙂

Sadly, it appears not, as can be seen by this photo of the same aircraft apparently recovered, from the ‘Aircrew Remembered’ website –

Wonder if it is still there waiting to be discovered?
