Apparently it is the Atomic Weapons Establishment (AWE) at Burghfield…
…I’m for it now! :diablo:
(Screech!)
Found it…
…still all-quiet outside! 😉
A few minutes later it changed to what you now see… (they’re on to us!)
I’m trying to find the ‘changed’ location now…
…while listening for the screech as unmarked cars pull-up outside! 😀
Not sure how it ties-up with the Ordnance Survey maps that you have posted but here is a Google Maps image of the (surprisingly small) crater…
…there is (or should be) a Wikipedia link in the centre of the crater.
Once again the forum welcomes a new member with open arms; for here lack of knowledge, or inexperience, are no hindrance to happy inclusion and the tactful sharing of information by the forum regulars that make those first few posts truly memorable…
…nice one guys! :rolleyes:
And if someone likes, he must open an topic about copyrights…..
Such a thread is now open for business…..enjoy! 😀
This all is off-topic.
Yes, it certainly is…..it happens here from time to time!
Don’t take it personally…..we should be more gentle with our new members…
…how about it guys! :rolleyes:
Useful if rebuilding a Merlin?
Not for a ‘runner’! :diablo:
You only own a print. That does not give you any rights to the copyright of that photograph. Anyone can copy it, as it is in the public domain having been around for years.
Maybe not, surely it is possible that this is a unique photograph, of a well-known subject yes, and certainly similar to others, but still possibly unique.
The difficulty is knowing whether it is original or not as the negative probably doesn’t survive only this print (and possibly others).
Was that the correct date/ I can’t get the clip to re-load now.
Yes, the date ties-in perfectly.
The full details from the two clips state:
VIII Fighter Command
Combat Film Number 18990
1/LT E.N.McCall
335 Squadron 4 F.G.
6 October 1944

Well the aircraft in the gun-camera footage clearly wasn’t an Me 410 (from the comfort and safety of my armchair :rolleyes:).
As you say, a tragic incident, but blue-on-blue was probably more common than we think during WW2.
