Baxter can remember the code for M9119 being MD119 “NX – T”

Also in his old photo album was a photo of the famous 453 Sq plane, the letterings being “FU-K”. He says where ever it landed, everybody wanted a photo of it. WHY ????

WHY?? FU-K Knows

I see that it was wrecked whilst being towed into place for target practice; presumably someone couldn’t wait….

Prehaps an email to North and West Norfolk – Land and Sea Management
may obtain more info??

I had hoped for a sensible reply to this question, paulmcmillan please do not post here if that is all you can offer.

Altsel – I see you are a new user… Any long standing user would get the sub-text and understand that this sort of banter is common…

BTW It is Scolt Head Island not Scholt Head Island

Do you think the other photos showing damaged aircraft are part of the Israeli uprising?

Is this the first time EVER a Hurricane has been mistaken for a Spitfire!!!… Of course usually the reverse mistake is made!

Incidentally whilst I was there the CCF army truck had the Derbyshire registration BRA 36 B – wonder what happened to that number…………

“No descriptive data is held by DVLA for registration number BRA32B.”

It was a long time ago… I wonder if your recall was correct it its historical context? If fact are your Mammaries of the event correct?

And (as I have said before) the book is fantastic… So much information about all the projects F.G. Miles was involved in upto 1939…. and I am not as much a ‘civil fan’ in all honestly I got it for the Magister production list, fate etc but have been absorbed by Whitney Straights, Sparrowhawks etc…

When he read this was “Andrews Livid of Sorts”?
