    "109 destroyed.....And confirmed by a farmer - Out!"

    Sorry boys.
    The pictures were there before the server change over.
    I've put them back on now.
    I apologize for those who have seen them previously.

    So read the flight log of Sqn. Ldr. R. Suppards DSO, DFC and Bar.
    He shot down the Me109 on August 12 1940.
    The crashed German pilot was arrested by a farmer and handed over to the Home Guard, who promptly marched him to the nearest boozer and bought him a pint to calm his shattered nerves!

    A farm worker luckily had his Brownie 127 camera with him and took photos of the victor flying over his victim's aircraft. The coloured ones were specially done at the time by the newspaper printers.
    The two from above shots were taken by Suppard's wing man!

    No superimposing or photoshop nonsense used....It's levitational magic!

    This bit of fun was the reason I couldn't completely finish the Hurricane for Peter's G.B.

    I can now do so....Off I go and add the undercarriage and prop.

    Thanks for looking.

                          Sorry all, the pictures were there before the forum change over. I have re- installed them.

                          Apologies to those who have seen them before.

                            Hopelessly inaccurate. The Brownie 127 wasn't introduced until 1952. Please try to do better in future. :tongue-out3:

                            Seriously though Ron, those photos are great, as is the Hurricane!
