I am glad that you are not upset by our discussing (and ‘rubbishing’ of) your panel. I am glad that you posted the photographs and I am genuinely interested in analysing how it came to be the way it is.

I was reading an account only yesterday of a Schrage Musik attack where shells hit the cockpit, the ‘Elsan’ toilet and an engine…

…but like any other form of air-to-air attack the range can vary and this aircraft survived!

Twenty-five metres is less than the wingspan of a Lancaster; that is awfully close even for an ‘experten’! In fact, an ‘experten’ wouldn’t get that close deliberately.
