Re: Photo RAF Aircraft

Hi Stig. I made that model of UM-V (at least 50 years ago !) was based on an AIRFIX magazine article. I've got some notes made later re. 152 Sqn.; on 13/9/43 a Polish pilot called Drecki collided with a PR Spit at Millazzo East and was killed on take-off, his no. 2 was a Ron Bell flying UM-V MA454.
Drecki was in Vc ES112 UM-U ( usual a/c of c/o Bruce Ingram, the PR Spit was MB778.
This was based on research by Drecki's nephew quite recently.
Regards
Nick
