Re: P/O Eric Marrs (Old Faithful Spitfire)
A quick update:
I spoke to my Dad this evening and he said that he was in his garden in Holbrook Lane, Trowbridge at the time as he used to cycle home from school for lunch and was just about to return.
He said it was only one Spitfire that was attacking the Ju 88 and that after the Spitfire fired on the Ju88 a few times, the Spitfire suddenly broke off the attack, much to my Dad's annoyance as he was shouting at the Spitfire "shoot it down. shoot it down."
The attack took place at approximately 5,000 ft
He remembers the Ju 88 was heading in a south east direction towards Westbury White Horse trailing smoke and was getting lower and lower.
