    Early 1960’s!!!!

    Incident happened Monday June 19th 1961. Pilot bailed out and landed at Pampisford. Aircraft did come from Wethersfield. 14 people slightly injured on ground

    Date allows me to find a hit on Joe Baughers serial site

    North American F-100D-65-NA Super Sabre

    56-2971 c/n 235-69 (20th TFW/77th TFS) Crashed 2.5 miles north-east of Duxford, England Jun 19, 1961 following in-flight fire after takeoff from Wethersfield AB. Pilot ejected safely

    All that is needed is P9372 to complete the set! Not impossible. 😉

    Old Flypast post from a well known Spitfire expert

    “However both P9372 and P9373 (The ‘Time Team’ Spitfire) have been recovered and yielded plates indicating the cockpit/fuselage construction number.”

    So P9372 has been recovered?? This was lost on 9th Sept 1940, when flown by P/O W.C.Watling of No 92 He baled out wounded (burned). The aircraft must of crashed near Biggin Hill

    Air Britain Aeromilitaria has Sgt Townsend (Safe) in P9429 with 611 Sqn but while saying it collided with R6914 on this date, there is NO reference to a collision in the history of R6914

    Lovell was wounded in P9429 on an earlier date (28th July 1940) while with 41 Sqn

    Sgts Whites, Walker and Kelly were allowed in the picture because they could not think up a suitable nicknames!:dev2:
