Even taking the order of battle for August 1940, 1/JG.52 flying from Coquelles to Cherbourg and then to Wiltshire, does seem strange.
I welcome any suggestions anyone has.
Thanks Versuch
The word “ab” underneath the emblem translates as “from” (mistake in book?). While the crashes you list are South East. Salisbury/Pitton is South (I was taught at school cardinal points are spelt with capital letters!!) All helpful info in getting there:eagerness:
Such a large emblem, it’s not surprising that he remembered it, just different location – right of cross:
Mike, the ‘dog’ is running right to left so that’s an advancement. No numbers nor chevrons.
Obviously he was a young boy when he drew the plane from memory soon afterwards and possibly did not even know what a boar was. So that makes sense.
Perhaps during the VooDoo and Phantom days, not many complaints during the A-10 era.
The base did make allowances for when concerts were being held at Snape Maltings.
And the base liasion officer made a big song and dance about it to all and sundry.
