Thanks for the link to You Tube, I had never seen it before. RAF station scenes filmed at West Raynham I think. The village scenes look like Burnham Market, opposite the Hoste Arms. The Messerschmitt attack scenes were Black 6 (in disguise) flown by Sqn Ldr Dave Southwood.

Hi Guys

Interesting thread. Some years ago I started a website on the subject but it received few hits so I let it die. For what it is worth I have re-published “hidden” on the Argosy site. The file is over 3 years old so there are a lot of broken links.

Nevil Shute wrote What Happened to the Corbetts before the war when no one knew what aerial bombing would be like. He got it pretty well right.

On the Beach predicted the results of nuclear war, it was really scary at the time. Was he right again???????????

Hi Graham

That would have been the Nuremberg Raid, 106 bombers lost that night I believe.

Look it up yourself online

Excellent photos Frank…there was also I think a sequence of pics of the recovery,surely pretty rare that an RAF transport a/c was salvaged from sea water to fly again,although of course being in shallow water helped.

cheers baz

I have not seen the photos you refer to. Lets hope someone puts them on here. Also be nice to see a pic of the plimsoll line that was put on to it after recovery.
