Hunting Pilot and Black Lab Pic!!

I wonder if you can help.

I’m looking for a picture of a WW11 pilot sitting in something single seat, Hurrri maybe, (cannon wing + D day stripes) with his black Lab sitting up on the wing. The pic was taken from the front 3/4…

I need it for a project and its driving me crazy! I’ve looked through every book I own but I can’t track it down. Any help much appreciated..

Cheers,

Taifun.

I think that the colour pic was taken by Charles Brown. If so, Hendon will have the negative. Getting a print from them is probably as easy as getting them to buy some light bulbs…

Assuming that they are still printing them, there used to be an After the Battle postcard, in colour, of Johnson giving Sally a tit-bit in front of his Spitfire. Adrian

Good memory Guy ! – that’s (also) the one I’m thinking of

I.I.R.C. it’s taken on the other side (in Colour, like you said) with “Sally” standing up on her hind Quarters & front paws on Johnson’s chest

I’ve still got it (somewhere), but, true to form, can’t find it at th’ mo’ :rolleyes:

Not the pose you are after (incidentally, a new pic to me – well done Kev35 for the pointer), but useful if you wanted any details of colour scheme, perhaps?

Try looking for Johnnie Johnson and I think his Lab was Sally, but sure I’ve seen some of him with his dog in the kind of position you require.

Sorry can’t be more specific.
