    You can, but although this image is in my collection I have no note of its original source.

    And thank you, hlt, for that information.

    Photo was taken by F/O Strudwick who was unit photographer

    What are the details of the book?

    A Google search does not seem to bring anything up.

    A Very Unusual Air War published by The History Press

    I just googled Len Thorne AFDU – that worked

    Couple of pictures of TP814. Don’t know the original source of the photographs as I have had them nearly twenty years and they have no details on the back.

    Any details on what happened to it ?

    It ended up being broken up for spares

    He was the Afdu pilot not Axis – sorry for any confusion. His log book and diaries have just been published and there is more detail about the incident in the book :):)

    Hope you enjoy it. So exciting for us. It was his dream to have his book published.
