Re: Post # 882 - No.4:


Aircraft is 450 Squadron RAAF Kittyhawk III, FR249/OK-F which forced landed in sand dunes and onto beach north of El Daba after combat with Bf 109s on 22 October 1942. Pilot Sgt Gordon Lindsay RAAF was captured, POW.


Col Bruggy's previous message mentions Sgt Holloway's aircraft FR239 but this was coded OK-S.


How can I get a copy of this photo. Ebay is obviously in German. Can you contact seller privately.

You can send a message in English but I don't know if it will be understood.

Hello Doug,

Nice one! I did mention Holloway/FR239, only as a possibility.

Good to have it cleared up.

That Hurricane EBay Caption “Crashed” Looks more like a destroyed “sitting duck” possibly set fire to on retreat

Re: eBay: Allied intrest
 

To be exact it is a Northrop 8A-5 (the A-33 designation had not yet been assigned)

The aircraft and those that followed was for the Norwegian Training Facility 'Little Norway' outside Toronto and not the Canadian Air Force.

The date on the flip side is interesting, making me think this is a test flight and not the actual delivery flight. Acording to Norwegian sources the first three 8A-5 were delivered on 2 Nov 1940. But I suppose it is possible the actual delivery flight may have been "slow and easy"...
Anyway Björn can give everyone chapter and verse with regard to this aircraft which I believe is the first one, D-1 c/n 715

Cheers
Stig
