KEX

Has anyone got the list of owners, & where KEX was based in the UK prior to be exported to Sweden. It appears that she had numerous colour schemes prior to her last UK appearance, which we think was Cream & dark Red, under that there is what appears to be a ‘metalic’ Blue scheme — does anyone have any pics of her in any of these schemes Please?

Hi Papa Lima,

I was wrong about the year this pic was taken – must be 1950 (I will correct that). But the Proctor wasn’t reg in Sweden until Oct 1951. The story of 1950-51:

17.02.50 UK CofA issued for G-AKEX.
20.12.50 Bought by Swede Lars-Ove Göransson via Wallis Hole Aviation Ltd. for the sum of £217.
10.01.51 G-AKEX crashed on arrival at Eslöv during the ferry to the new owner.
08.02.51 G-AKEX cancelled. A/c repaired.
10.10.51 Reg as SE-BTR to Lars-Ove Göransson, Malmö.

Von Werra

[The Battle of Britain. net seems to leave a lot to be desired in correct details — for example it states SATURDAY 31st AUGUST — this was in fact a FRIDAY— how do I know — well I was there — when at about 4.30pm I saw Hurricane P3119 –( P/Off JLW Ellecombe ) after it crashed landed near my home — I saw Hurricane R4213 go down in flames, killing Sgt.Feliks Gmur,— I saw a He111 which they shot down, & landed a couple of miles from my home, — it was one of 10 en-route to attack Vauxhall Motors at Luton, where vast damage ensued, along with many casualties in that area.
Official records name Flt/Lt John Terrance aged 24. of 41Sqdn Hornchurch in Spitfire P9428 who shot-down Von Werra at 10am on 5th Sept. 1940 — crash-landing at Winchet Hill Loves farm, Marden Kent — Terrance was killed a few hours later that day,( 3.25pm ) after colliding in mid-air with Spitfire R6635 flown by Sqdn/Ldr. H R L Hood aged 32 yrs, over Bonvills farm Benfleet Essex.
Von Werra lived a further 4 yrs before perishing in Oct. 1944
