A CASA 2.111 may be a better bet:

Good luck either way.

Thanks Martin re your post 25,in answer to my question.

Regret to advise that Mr Francis passed away about 5 years ago, but his neice is going to ask the family for any history of his ownership of the Spitfire especially with regards to its move back to the West Midlands.

Yes! I’ve read an account somewhere of a Ju88 flying into a barrage balloon at night…..and surviving!
That’s probably not what you meant but I’ll try to find the account.

‘Hajo’ Herrmann, minelaying in Plymouth Sound, according to Patrick Bishops ‘Battle of Britain’ book (published 2009) p123.

I think that the first one I saw would have been one of the PR.XIXs of BBMF flying over our house on its way to a St Mawgan airshow in the early/mid 70s … in formation with the Lancaster and a Hurricane, triple whammy 🙂

D’oh … too slow 😎

Perhaps he is going hunting in some of his own containers for a Lancaster? :diablo:

I’ve always liked this machine. Landing and taking-off aside, it seems to have been pretty-well invulnerable at the time. I seem to recall that they were used quite a bit on PR over the UK. Were any shot-down I wonder…..? Weren’t they one of the few German a/c over the beaches on D-Day..? Apart from the Meatbox, we didn’t have anything that could have caught the blighters.

According to a discussion elsewhere; yes.
