I know that Andy has the answer.

When I am back home, I go in my books ("his" book I should say) and I believe the answer will be there.

It had taken off from Lanvéoc Poulmic and got lost due to electrical storm.

see the whole story in page 62 63 of "arrival of eagles" by Andy Saunders.

Why is there a red stamp Mar 4, 1941 on the back of the photo??
Just curious since everyone is talking about October here....

Cheers

Because the pic came from the page 32 of the "Chicago Tribune" of Tuesday, March 4, 1941

Re: Dornier Do17 shot down Stour river Ipswich 1941

Indeed udf

Then I repeat my wonder, how can a newspaper publish anything appx 7 months BEFORE the crash was made, and on top have received a photo of it?

Since I don't believe in the supernatural I would say this is NOT the incident in October 1941....

Cheers

Gentlemen,
Very sorry, typing error, it was 22 October 1940.
I'll sit on the naughty step.
