Re: Lt Col G E Hall 12th BG Killed 1 Oct 43
There is an earlier photo of the aircraft taken by Levy. Or was it taken just prior to the taxiing?
This raises a question - 601 was at Lentini West until early October, and Gerbini is quite away, so the aircraft must have been flown there. If so, by whom? I am not aware of it being flown, just being maintained.
Alas, Skalski did mention flying 109, but there is nothing in his records to confirm or give an exact date, though obviously possible. I recall that there was an article in an ancient issue of the Aeroplane by a fighter pilot known as Johnny Johnson (not the one obviously), who did add some word on captured aircraft to the pictures of Levy. I have seen it, but could not locate it anymore.
