Are there any images on the net of the Dornier which came down at seasalter on 13Aug 1940?

The closest I can find, unless one is up somewhere with no location given, is there’s a photo of a corpse being taken ashore on a stretcher…

Elsewhere, that I know of, there’s a Roy Conyers Nesbit book with a photo in (he sent me a copy of the image, though lord alone knows where it is now), Richard Collier’s “Eagle Day” has a photo in, some chap whose name I can’t quite drag to mind :diablo: wrote a book called “Finding the Foe” which has a picture of two soldiers inspecting one engine, and the Kent Messenger many, many years ago published a book with a photo in, captioned as two Dornier’s crashing next to each other. There are at least two KM BoB books by H R Pratt Boorman on abebooks (I’ve just ordered the cheapest – sorry!), and I reckon it’s one of those.

Somewhere there is film footage as about a second turned up in “Spitfire Ace”. But what and where…

Pop over for a brew, Kev – AFAIK the delightfully porcine G-PIGY is based just up the way at Kidlington! Every now and the it beetles its portly way over us.

Love the pic of SNAFU with only the blast tubes in focus – reckon we could persuade TFC to go over them with a torch to give them some heat marks?:diablo:

Gievn the near-total absence of non-period detail, that would be well worth playing with – perhaps try to reproduce the tones of period Kodachrome, or B&W, and age it as well.

Mind you, it’s stunning to start with!

Those are fantastic – and to think all that as recorded with German camera gear…

“That Lanc!” is S-Sugar, now at Hendon.

Fascinating to see an A35 – never realised any served in the UK with the USAAF, I thought the RAF’s all went to SE Asia.

I used to have a magazine cover video (no, not that sort!) with the TV version on – I remember it as being longer, but here’s the best I can find.

On the other hand, I don’t suppose I’m the only person who’d give their eye teeth to know when the Meatboxes are flying so we can go and goof.

Bet they don’t publicise it, and I bet people doing exactly that are why!

Bob,

If they are a type fitted to the Barracuda, Bluebird Mike might be your man, or at least good for suggestions.

I think all his swap items might be Gnat parts, though!
