Can anyone point me in the direction of a specific Flypast article? I can’t remember exactly when it was from, probably two or so years ago(?), in which it discusses a famous photograph of a V1 being purportedly ‘flipped’ by a Spitfire. From what I recall, the photograph was very grainy, and the article went on to discuss what the actual aircraft may have been and why (possibly a Tempest, if I am not misremembering).
If anyone can shed further light on this, that would be much appreciated!

Do we know any more about the circumstances of the photo? I can’t think of any two seaters bar maybe the Mosquito that could have even come close to keeping up with Tempest and bomb, and it would pretty bold, and require great timing, to take that from a single seater at that height and speed.

Found it!
It was indeed a Tempest.
