Re: 455 RAAF Hampden UB-S 7.7.43
Col,
Having read the account for S/455 for UK-based operations on 7-Jul-1943, I finally understand the question posed by the OP.
Geoff Raebel's book does contain a few more photos of the crew of UB-S, and a single photograph of the tail section of a Hampden under camo-netting. You can just make out the 'S' marking. However these relate back to 1942 and S/455 (P2126) operations in Russia. The photo of the crew may be of interest to the OP, but the aircraft S/455 (P2126) is not the one associated with the shooting down of the Bf109G. Is it unusual for the crew to stay together for over 12 months of operations?
Just as a total aside, Sid Beck's museum in Mareeba has a torpedo trolley associated with use by one of the Hampden squadrons.
Regards,
...geoff
