Thanks for placing the note here on the forum, placed an order for one tonight and can play Pal DVD with no problem. Look forward to your new DVD project and to see a Mossie fly will be nice. Duxford need a Mossie and a P-38 flying there right now..maybe one day it will happen. Wearing out my Spitfire DVD and a real fine tribute to Ray and Mark …great selection of music and shots of MH-434 in action ! Look forward to getting mine in the mail soon….nice to see you have some P-51 action there as well. Back about a year ago there was a discussion here on the forum about a series of DVD’s sold on the Japan Amazon website , with the Old Flying Machine Spitfires and perhaps a Mustang ??? Do you remember this here on this and the AVI-8 forum of folks looking for this series? Sorry I dont remember more and will search the old forum to see if I can locate the story. Thought you might have shot and produced this series as well. Nice to see this project of yours out on the market and look forward to getting this DVD…thanks !

All The Best !

A most amazing story and hope they can locate the next of kin , much like the Adrian Warburton story. Let’s pray for some closure for this family. Not the first time I have read of Feild Marshall Rommel talking to captured prisoners , much like he did with the captured British commando as told in the great BBC D-Day documentary 6-6-44 ! Thanks for posting this and what publication did you read this in…a link would be nice if you would be so kind !

Thanks !

A straffing story involving P-51’s in Germany!

While this is a very senstive subject and any death involving civilians in wartime is a horrible event this story was related to me by some pilot’s of the 339th Fighter Group who flew P-51’s in the Eighth Air Force and were based at Fowlmere near Duxford during the war. After escorting Eighth bombers on a deep raid into Germany the 339th P-51’s went looking for ground targets of opportunity as they returned from the raid. One of its Mustangs had been hit by flak and the pilot had to bail out over a small village in Germany. As he hit the ground in his parachute he was meet by the accounts of some 339th pilots as they flew low over him to see where he landed, attacked by men in the field who had seen him landing in his chute. The Mustang pilots saw this and called out what was going on over the radio and soon the area around this field and village were filled with P-51’s. Hoping their fellow pilot would be captured and made a POW, being young men in war with emotions running high and seeing their fellow pilot killed by those in the field the Mustangs came back and just chewed up the area with their 50’s and made continual straffing runs over this field destroying
German military trucks and anyone who was in the field at the time. The pilots noticed many running out of the field towards this small town located right next to where this action was taking place and made numerous staffing runs their as well. One man expressed his hope that there were no civilians or locals from the village who were involved in this terrible situation but at the time what they observed going on in this field inraged them at the time and they just took on this course of action. From what I have read in the above post it shows that many of you in the UK have had some family members who have experienced being straffed and bomb by the Luftwaffe during WWII. If you look at any gun camera footage shot by allied fighters during the war you have to wonder how many locals and not German troops were killed by this straffing ? A very sad event that happens in any war.

Hey just bought the ME-109 as well on DVD…why not…an early christmas present for this warbird lover. Steve I was at Duxford back in the early 90’s in October and saw the ME-109 fly along side the Spitfire. Great site and shot some shaky hand held high 8mm stuff. Needed a tripod big time…looking forward to getting your wonderful dvd’s ! Hope to see a DVD by you in the future on the P-51 Mustang…BlueNose one’s would be even better ! All Hail the men from Bodney !!!

Thanks !

Steve :

If we live in the States and wish to order one of your Spitfire/Me-109 DVD’s , you stated they can be ordered on Ebay. No problem with Pal..I can play all in a multi-region dvd player I have. Is there a link on your site to order? Thanks and good luck on all your projects.
