…….”Does my bomb look big in this?……:D

Hello Spitfireman. The above Hampden P2070 was my father’s plane (Sgt. R.H.L. Smith) and indeed it may well be him stood in what appears to be an RAF uniform with his back to the camera. I would be really grateful for any other information that you may have such as who took the photograph and particularly whether you have either an original copy or a higher resolution image please?

I bought it from a German dealer as an original, believed taken by a German soldier.

If you could put up more information on your father on/and this incident and pm me address, you can have it.

Wouldn’t cost anywhere near £2M for a cliff faller, calling out a Sea King was around £10K ph, HM Coastguard cliff team X 12 + 4X4 for 3 hours (min callout + mileage) < £500, RNLI probably about the same for the big boat, less for the smaller ones, beat copper with notebook and Coroner £2K?

A few years ago, we had 10 fatals in one year in the Newquay area (and a couple of survivors), the cliffs range from 180ft up to over 300ft.

The Sea King was rarely used unless assisting with the search prior, so in some cases, cheaper.

There are a couple on this forum who know what a passion I had, leaping off the cliffs to rescue wayward Emmets for 18 years.
