    This was formed at Colerne in 1945,moving to Molesworth,Hunts around 1.46. It was redesignated 15.8.46 still there as 226 OCU and moved to Bentwaters 10.10.46. They flew mainly Meteor F.3 EE354 coded XL:H,EE367 XL:B and F.1 EE216 XL:A to give a few examples.

    I think the arrival at Shannon on 12.9.05 was when it was en route to Dunsfold from Africa. Thanks for the info G-ASYD as this is an early Dak c/n 4363 and i thought it had left Dunsfold.

    No, that belongs to Aces High ex North Weald. ZS-MRU arrived at Shannon ex Dunsfold on 12.9.05. It did appear in the background on “Top Gear” when “Stig” was racing. The Aces High Dakota is much darker and parked near to the Boeing 747.

    Aside,it was nice to see and hear DC-3 G-AMPY shooting approach’s at Cranfield this morning. Must be busy crew training before the dreadful cut-off in July.

    Gentlemen, Maybe Rippert is correct. he is getting older and full of remorse when he found out it was St.Ex, but needs to lay his conscience to rest otherwise the facts would be lost. I am not saying this is the answer but taking a different slant on this.

    Yes sorry Tangmere,but a few of us wanted to know about that Simoun accident but couldn’t understand French,and St.Ex flew them.

    Silver /yellow T bands survived till 1959 when liberal coatings of orange flourescent appeared until about 1964 when the polyurathane grey/dayglo stripes came in. This lasted until the raspberry ripple scheme mid ’70’s.

    There would i presume have been cine-gun film of the alleged shooting down ? and someone in German authority would have raised this in post-intelligence ?

    Yes I need a translation !! please and thank you for the response. I find it strange that this pilot has come forward now after all these years and the disapperance of St Ex has been well publicised in that time,but look how Adrian Warburtons P-38 had lain undiscovered on land after being shot down by flak. Events moved fast during the war so Rippert could be correct ,it will be interesting to see if this is contested. All I was doing was bringing the news and i wish i spoke fluent French !!
