No hijacking involved, Modariz. And thanks all for a useful discussion. I’m sure that I’m not the only one to gain.
I don’t know about photos, but after 30 years in the Fine Art Trade, I do know that signed prints can fetch good money – four figures for multi-signed ones.
This one only, eventually, fetched £38 – I was deeply insulted – especially as I was described as a Spitfire ace!!!

No – but to start the ball rolling, & for a bit of fun, here’s General Gromov’s signature in my logbook while we were stuck in the ice in Archangel in 1941!!
Sorry – he didn’t use in-flight refuelling!
May I add a useless touch of topical tittletattle?
FURIES. ‘My’ No1 Sqn had them before I joined. Always longed to get my hands on one.
Nearest I got was in the same year as the Formby film – at Abingdon – my Uncle was Engineer Officer of XV Sqn – I was 14 – &, bless him, he put me in the back. So much for EU regs??
No – that’s not the actual aircraft – although it just could be!!
Hind, not Hart. Joy was – take off the top wing & you almost had a Hurricane. So my transition was easy.
