SPITFIRE AA722 234 SQN

[Chris Goss]

Photos exist of this aircraft crash-landed in France on 12 Feb 42. On port side it has the swastika and fingers badge seen a number of times with 234 Sqn aircraft but there appears to be a smaller badge ahead towards top of the rear part of the cowling. Any ideas what it could be as it is partly covered by a jacket!

Chris as the pilot P/O McLeod was Canadian maybe a reference to his nationality (looks like a tepee on there).

All I can see is a dark square with what looks to be a wishbone or stick man with something written at the bottom! Photos of the starboard side show absolutely nothing! Why did that German soldier have to put his jacket over it! Also, where did he crash-land and was he the victim of Glunz of JG 26?

Chris,
Seems a new book about the air-combats during the Channel Dash will appear soon....keep us updated, ok?

[Chris Goss]

Not just the air combats but the complete air and sea story starting with the losses of the Scharnhorst and Gneisenau in 1914.................... It was planned for this year but I have asked to slip this to next year as I have quite a bit on this year!
