Re: Hawker Typhoon original id?

Hello Chris,

This all makes me sad, as all of this IRC was ironed out on the LEMB site long before it crashed. There were many photos and colour profiles as well as text.
A photo was shown and still is on the new LEMB of three German Officers ( they were all once named ) walking in front of a Cab Door Typhoon with the numbers of the serial shown. This was at the September 1943 Air Show so "SA-I" EJ956 of Mawson was a fit, being lost earlier in March 1943.

It also seems that Fw Herbert Gold was killed on the 28th or 29th July 1944 while flying JP548, which force landed SE of Marigny on the 14th February 1944 and was a 174 Sdqn a/c coded "XP- " piloted by F/O. B.F. Proddow who was an evader.

All the very best
Alex
