Maybe it was
Forbes
or
National Lottery Winners Magazine
:rolleyes:
I know I have seen map in some book somewhere which shows all the end points for the V1 but for the life of me I can’t remember which book it was.. It may have been Bob Ogley’s book on the V1: Doodlebugs and Rockets: Battle of the Flying Bombs
Hi Paul,
You need to cast the net a bit wider.

58 Sqn
Whitley V
Z6498

Ross – Thanks for that.. Methinks a bit more cross checking required by Aeroplane Monthly next time!

Further to my post..
According to RAF Bomber Command Losses of WW2 1941 by Chorley
Whitley V Z6478 of 10 Sqn (Leeming) coded ZA-S was shot down by nightfighter and crashed in Holland on the night of Sat 6/Sun 7 Sept 1941 on an Operation to Huls with the loss of all crew.
I checked another 3 references and all have Z6478 with 10 Sqn.
On the same night 10 Sqn lost Z6942 ZA-? with the crew all taken POW but no details on where the aircraft ended up or how the crew become POW
No 58 Sqn machines were lost that night!
However, 58 Sqn (Linton-On-Ouse) had 2 losses the following night (Sun 7/Mon 8) on Operation to Berlin, but none were coded GE-D.
BTW if anyone checks Chorley Bomber Losses for 1941 you will see problems with the Identity, location, sqn and code with that in the magazine
In the latest issue of Air Classics it is reported that the FG-1D
that was recently completed by Vintage Fighters has been sold to an overseas buyer. Anybody know which “sea”?Jim Harley
I believe it is heading to Australia to replace one that was going to Australia but was sold on before it arrived (going to Alaska I think)
Hello Mark, you could try Mr Charleston, I recall hearing that he found some RAF razorback mustang parts a while back.

Mystic Mac getting his crystal ball out thinks that Mark 12’s request and the above statement are not un-related…..
It is probably an FB26, as China got their Mossies via Canada.
The mock up seems to owe a lot to TU-2, and very little to Mosquito!
Bruce
Ahh so it as MosquiTU !
Buckinghamshire would be closer, but yes, this is one of the aircraft damaged in the fire
Twyford and Peter Wood ??
I have just tracked part of his career through the online London Gazette has anyone got access to the citations for the AFC’s?

SW851, Seafire FXV: 804NAS 137/T HMS Theseus, drifted into barrier, aircraft handler killed, tail over port side, 30/7/1947 (Lt JGP Morton unhurt).
I wonder if this date is a typo in the Fleet Air Arm Fixed-Wing Aircraft Since 1946?? As the date should clearly be 20/7/1947 from both sources: The album and the Ships Log….
methinks I should post a link on AB-IX
Update:
Flood, I think you have a typo re: 30/7/1947 the FAA book says 20/7/1947
