Re: Photo Eagle Squadron Spitfire MK Vb Mount Farm UK 1944
Hi
curiosity got the better of me...from various web sites.
Lockheed F-5B-1-LO Lightning
67318 in midair collision with RAF Halifax, embedding one of the Halifax's fins in the Lightning's port wing and bending starboard wing back by 26 degrees. Starboard engine froze but pilot was able to get the plane on the ground.
The Lightning is said to have arrived in the UK on 16th November 43 and was Salvaged on 22nd December 43. Photo shows the D Type unit embedded in side of the Lightning, said to be at Speke.
cheers
Jerry
