I saw the Sunderland one “somewhere on the net” recently – think it was on some kind of Conspiracy Theorist site.

Don’t have the link, logged off ASAP – didn’t want to be kidnapped by aliens and “probed”… (‘Turrrrrn yourrrrrrrr head and cough, earrrrrrrrrrthlinggggggg.’)

Maybe try over here:

Not a lot of traffic there, but the folks who do post generally know their stuff.

I thought the Germans also had a wire-trailing rocket for defence against low-level attacks? Could have sworn a 605 Sqn aircraft made it back to base with a large chuck of one wing sliced neatly off.

So far as I know, Hitler’s bunker itself is still under an anonymous piece of waste land.

Rochus Misch, the telephonist in Downfall, still lives in Berlin. Recently got himself into trouble by suggesting that some sort of marker be put up over the spot. Focus for the revisionists, etc etc.

The Mossie pic might also have been taken at, of all places, Clark Field in the Philippines.

A52-505 was one of two aircraft sent there at the end of March 1945 for comparative trials against allied and Japanese aircraft, though the trials may not have taken place.

The squadron were based at Kingaroy in Queensland before heading to Morotai and then to Labuan.

The ORB is actually available online at the Australian archives

Let me add my sincere condolences to those above – I still refer to your father’s books constantly.

So far as I know, the phrase “en grandeur nature” means life-size. The pic does strike me as small though – foreshortening?

meh – this site says it’s 3/4 scale.

Last I heard, Heinz Roekker was still with us, and very active re: info on wartime ops.

You might try over at the Luftwaffe Experten Message Board, or try to track down Erich Brown, who posts hither and thither.

You might find Roekker’s book with a wee google-fu on: Roekker NJG 2 .

He might also spell it Rökker, though I do think he uses the e.

Edit – you might also try the “German Night Fighter War 1939 – 1945” board.

re: Mosquito designator letters

Yet another keeper of a post – thanks!

Re: the Mosquito designator letters, ahead of the ’98” – is there a list somewhere of the relevant sub-assemblies? I could swear Juergen Haus once posted one over at mossie.org, but I’m, er, confounded if I can find it.

I mean, A=? K=?
