I am sorry if this appears to be advertising, but it is a site I found while searching for Imperial Airways pictures on google.

If you feel that it could be construed as advertising, please delete the thread and accept my apologies.

When I knew him he was flying for TFC at Dx…So they may still have contact details.

I’m fairly sure Baggers is the chap in this vid at the 0.15 mark:

You are correct, that is Sqn Ldr Dave Bagshaw.

Maybe my user name will give some clues how I am so sure!!

A couple of things that seem odd about this photo

1. If the aircraft was landing, wouldn`t the arrestor hook be lowered?

2. It appears that the pilot is the only person on board the aircraft.

3. I would have thought that not enough flap is selected for landing, however I do not know what degree of flap would normally be selected for landing.

Furthermore, there is no mention of the loss of this aircraft (I think it is onboard HMS Eagle), in any list of Gannet losses that I can find.

Waiting to be proved wrong on all points….

It does not give actual RLM colour callouts, just a profile

Good evening,

If you have access to it, I recommend Kampfflieger volume 4, Bombers of the Luftwaffe, in the series Luftwaffe Colours by Nick Beale, page 313. It shows a colour profile of F8+FH of 1/KG40 at Bordeaux-Merignac summer 1943.

Hope this helps

Best Regards

Ian

Ah Biggles….memories

I first flew in XE799 as an A.T.C. cadet on 31 Aug 1974 at Spitalgate.

Would seriously love another flight in a real glider.

All the best
