The photo shows P7095 according to Bowater's book on the Whirlwind. Damage on this aircraft is consistent with Brown's last radio message but his death is a mystery as his body, initially identified as Sgt Manston, was exhumed near Amiens-Glisy 40 miles from the crash site after the war
Yes everyone has in the past identified this aircraft as P7095 but I still believe it
was P7005 unless Brown broke
his neck getting out or was shot trying to escape.
