Re: Westland Whirlwind P7005 picture

In the past this aircraft has been identified as P7095 (see Crawford/Listemann Allied Wings No 4)

The problem is that both P7095 and P7005 carried the same code SF-H and on top were lost very close
together.
P7095 23 Jan 1943
P7005 2 March 1943

However the pilot of P7095 is listed as KIA while the pilot of P7005 is listed as POW.
To me the photo shows a very credible landing which in my book you could walk away from any day in
the week!
So I agree with Andy and think this actually is P7005 and not P7095

Cheers
Stig
