    Here’s a link to the same photo, the outcome of the equiry and the in cockpit camera footage (looking backwards toward the pilot) of the final 24 seconds of the flight including the bang out, 0.8 of second before terra firma played a part in things.

    As a result of not setting the alitimeter correctly the guy now pilots a desk.

    The entire MOD WW2 air recon photo archive of over 5 million images of Western Europe is going online from Monday.
    The site is so slow at the moment, probably due to the amount of people trying to get on, I have given up trying to access it but once things settle down it should be facinating.
    The link is below.
