You lucky beggar, Pete! Any chance you can hold up a sign to Gt Sampford next time they come by, please my Dad?

Adrian

Wow, if only there’d been an internet when I was researching the damn thing in the early 1990s!

That appears to be them, Geoff – I remember Genter & Hirsch. I have one of their cigarette lighters – if only it was named I could have tried to find family but it isn’t. They are all in a single grave – given what happened and the remains I found, I’m not surprised at all.

Mein Deutsch ist kleine (apologies to Nils for mangling his language!) but enough to work out the details, especially with a dictionary. Want to be included with Nils when I pass the details on?

Adrian

Nils,

I have shoebox under one of my bookshelves full of bits from a Do17Z of (I think) 3/KG2 shot down on August 16th 1940. It is NOT Herr Moellenbrok’s (sorry – don’t know how to add an Umlaut) aircraft as the crew all died in it. However (a) he might know something about it and (b) if you are interested in the action of that day I have a superb report full of derring-do from a local newspaper of the crash. If you are interested PM me and I’ll look up the correct detaisl and scan the article. HOWEVER I am away for a fortnight as of this weekend so it may take a little time!

Adrian

I didn’t know any “other” magazines were available 😉

Wassamatter? Too short to reach the top shelf?

:diablo: :dev2:

Whilst I did once have a sig relating to this fable, I think you might be confusing me with Alastair George and his

“W/C D Bader . On holiday Skegness 1941 . Honestly .”
Moggy

Opens mouth just long enough to remove foot and apologise….

😮 😮 😮 😮 😮

Well at least it explains some flamin’ cryptic sigs Moggy (? – was it you? or am I blaming you unfairly?) had a while back!

Adrian

(My Dad met Bader in a hairdressers in Saffron Walden once – claim to fame? Was he ever based at Debden?)

That’s not the Meteor that used to be at Chelmsford ATC is it? I remember passing it in the car when I was a mite quite often – certainly a Night Fighter, in all-over silver without any other markigs IIRC.
