Oh No….

Billy Zane and David Ginola!

Did you never see the film about the restoration of this aircraft (amongst others). It might put you off! Its cheap, as it needs a LOT of work!

Is this the one in “the Defender” film?

Ross can you confirm the serial of the Spitire that FLT/LT Johnson was flying as BS491?. I do not know if the PRU was still under Coastal Command control on this date, but I have no doubt you have looked at this particular incident!

Thanks

Paul

Can’t help much on BS491 (I have it crash landing at Sumburgh on the same day) – Though this could be confusion with AA878

However the Pilot who crashed and killed in a Spitfire on this date was a Flt/Lt not PO..

Is it an FR 18 ?

Its a Mk 22/24

We did it!

The aircraft are now safely tucked away at the airport and we are going to have a good rest. I’llpost photos when I can…

Was there a spare pilot and ground crew waiting posed as soon as they landed?

With fuel and capabilites to re-arm the aircraft as soon as they stopped moving..

So as to provide CAP, as we know the opposition is aware of their arrival and is on its way!

Or am I 60 odd years out of date?

You guys aren’t being ambitious enough.

Try looking further afield!!
