Hi All!
There was Sqn./l Jiri Manak (Czech) 198 squadron shot down in his Hawker Typhoon JP613 TP-N on 28.8.1943 at the Netherlands coast, POW.
I would like to build a model of this Tiffy.
I am looking for any photos, movement history, maintenance history or modification data available and would greatly appreciate anything the fine folks of this forum could chime in on.
Best regards

Nothing on the Typhoon, but here is an image of Jiri Manak arriving back at Ruzyne airfield in Czechoslovakia in August 1945. He is flying Spitfire TE566 DU-A.
He is greeting his mother. His grand-daughter, Andrea Dedicova, made the image available on the first return visit of TE566 to the Czech Republic in June 1993.
