P2811 - 11-5-40 P/O Aubrey McFadden #42510

I read the account of this in '12 Days in May' says hit by Cannon-shell in radiator and force landed in a field near Poilcourt east of Neufchatel-sur-Aisne. He was unhurt and returned to unit only to be shot down again 3 days later

Now again only circumstantial evidence, but if hit in radiator wouldn't cowling be off as per photo? and also if hidden in shed, wouldn't be assumed it was recovered by RAF crew, which might explain why wings have been removed to facilitate recovery?

I note the seller also says Neuf-Brisach, Frankreich" and we have "Neufchatel"

Alex what is your reference for it being hidden in a shed thanks Paul
