These shots look pretty low, what height was your aircraft at?

Nice photo Moggy. Were all those houses around the prison in 1944?

Many thanks for the kind comments BlueNoser352. I am pleased you enjoyed it, it’s always great to get such feedback, it makes all the effort worthwhile. A lot of the effort in this particular episode was of course down to Denis and Tom too. If you do ever head down this way you’d be made most welcome!

Sorry this has taken over a week to put together, but much thanks to the co-operation of our international correspondents, Denis Sharp and Tom Allett, Episode 62 of the Wings Over New Zealand Show is now online.

WOW!! I had no idea a photo existed of this crash. Would you mind if I used this on my website’s page on Dick Sampson please? is this a German photo? or French?

Thanks Ed. I also made a mention of him at our ceremony. I didn’t realise he has no known grave. Thanks again.

Thanks for posting these Ed.
