Very nice film. I am lucky in living just off the approach to Geneva airport over the lake, and the Ju52s pass by on sight-seeing trips. The most recent were HB-HOS (sponsored by IWC) and HB-HOT. I can hear them coming from some distance and run out to see them: most impressive, especially with the background of the Mont Blanc and Alps.

I was at the RAFM last weekend. I asked the attendant whether they had yet received the Egyptian P-40. Yes said he, it’s over there, indicating THEIR P-40. Not that one, said I, the one from the desert. Oh you mean the one that crashed and the pilot walked away and was never found. Yes, said I. He then needed to speak to someone higher in the pecking order, and came back with the word that no-one knew anything else about what I was asking about … but he was very charming with it!

There is also Typhoon “IR206”, seen here at Earl’s Court in April 2006. Replica Harrier ZH139 was also at this exhibition.

7FORTY7: I think that must be HP42 G-AAUE, Hadrian, impressed as AS982, and blown over in a gale at Doncaster on 6/12/40.
The other HP42s damaged by gales were G-AAUD Hanno and G-AAXC Heracles, blown together at Whitchurch on 19/3/40

I found the details, and another photo, of the Ju88A, above, at http://www.wingleader.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/lca2samplepagesa.pdf

4D+DR “48” of 7/KG30, from Aalborg to bomb Driffield, but shot down at Bridlington, 15 August 1940.

You were right Andy.

I just came across this one. It is apparently a Ju88 that was displayed at King’s School in Peterborough in 1940, but I have no information on its identity. Maybe someone knows it.
