Correction

I guess that I should never doubt Steve B. My apologies Steve.

I have gone back and researched my files and feeling rather embarrassed I have to correct my previous post. The pilot in question is in fact Flt/Lt Jack Taylor of 430 squadron.

I was relying on my father’s memory when he identified a number of years ago, the photo of being of Bill Scherk in 414 squadron. It occurred to me that Steve is the master when it comes to Mustang history so I went back through the files I have on 430 and found a photo of Jack Taylor. He and Bill Scherk do have a close resemblance but when I went through the Operations Record Book and reviewed Bill Scherk’s recorded flights there was no mention of a prang like the one in the photo.

So gentle people, I was wrong in my posted reply.

Cheers, Steve.
