    The form did belong to Hampden L4044 230 squadron all the info seems to be deleted and changed to Spitfire info unless as i now assume was done by an apprentice mechanic for practice on filling out the sheets?

    Here are some pics although not great Andy.just found a raf note book with copies of exactly what is in this form giving same info!!! got to be a guy practising filling one out would you think? But did think they kept these important documents you can see feint writing in pencil where the hampden details were erased.

    I purchased it and a few other items a few years ago from a guy who found it on the mull of kintyre in the early 60,s.It is from Blenheim z6350 which ran short of fuel during a training flight December 21st 1941 tried to break from cloud to make an emergency landing and hit a hillside killing all crew.

    Thanks for your serious reply Dave .Considering where this came from i very much doubt the deceased ex-raf service man went into making copies of combat reports!!!.Not everything out there should be jumped on as a forgery this was never sold as a forgery and is real and is as stated belonging origionally to the Hampden and not a spitfire.

    The Halifax seat is the rather distressed leather covered seat.

    Exactly so, T-21.

    Moggy posted this for our interest and enjoyment. So lets take advantage of that opportunity. I offer my unreserved apology for inadvertently “kicking somebody in the guts.”

    No offence just having a laugh not meant to be a go at you at all chill out!:)

    No magnifying glass…no photoshop….no image enhancement. My deduction was based upon the “a/c 052” inscription as Melvin’s points out.

    It was hardly rocket science to find an a/c of that unit with a tail number that ended in 052. Just simple deduction and confirmed by T-21.

    hmmmmmmm was that a kick in the guts!

    I know it sounds like teaching granny to suck eggs have you used a magnifying glass to look at the tail numbers or for the small serial code of the ac on the nose
