Well, if you read Dr. Price’s Hardest Day, there are several accounts by RAF pilots who bailed out or even belly landed about them having to prove to very “excited” Home Guard members or even armed local farmers that they were RAF pilots despite there uniform showing that… So one can easy imagine that a polish pilot may have succombed to that. Specially when a rumor is going around that german parachutists invaders are spreading out after a raid, having taken the look of priests…

Actually, it is insured with a british company…

Final price was 506 000 dollars, and that is not including premium. Buyer remained anonymous –*he bidded by telephone.

Was flown in trail with Buchon, with a gagle of Spitfire in background doing their stuff.
The rule, as of now, is not to do any manoeuvers in the vertical. Leon mathis did indulge himself ina couple of barrel rolls, includin two in a row. It has been flown up to 600 km/h during test flight, but there is still much to be discovered as it is virtually a prototype. So caution is the word of the day and will remain so for many monthes. You have to be concious that this one plane has so far flown more hours than the two one assembled and flown by Flug Werk put together. So guess who is ironing out all teething problems… ?

French P-51D, P-40, Spitfire and FW 190 took off from La Ferte Alais this early afternoon heading to DX.

Forget about it, too much to be reworked, and not only electrical things.

Yes Buddy 😉
