    This is the wreck Tigger photographed in 1971, this photo was taken in 1966 by the light blue spitfire seen in the documentary Operation Crossbow. Taken at 26,000ft with stereoscopic cameras, the pilot and Spitfire were use long after the war for Land and Sea surveillance.

    Trivia : MOD Police used to occupy Danesfield House were Op Crossbow photos were analysed by people like Dirk Bogarde I worked there from 1986 to 1992, Those photo were the intelligence that sent the orders for 416th Bomb Group and Bill Cramsies 43-9699 A20 Havoc on the mission to France on April 10 1944 from Raf Wethersfield were MDP moved to in 1992.

    Finally I have landed :eagerness::eagerness:

    I am Ross Stewart you will read about me in issue 7 and 8 of East Coast Sailing linked in a post above. Now retired Chief Inspector, still Project Manager of 9699, and also Historian and Curator of RAF Wethersfield Museum.

    I will post more in this thread about the first wreck I found on Buxey, yes there is a second wreck, more on that another day.

    Very keen to make contact with Tigger, as his experience and photos are a key part of the story of the wreck in his photos.

    Google Bill Cramsie to find out more about Project 9699.

    Thanks to Whitley_Project and Stan05 for their help.

    Just need to look at how to post photos now hope fully it easy as I have many for this and other threads.
