141sqn Defiants

[KennyK404]

For such simple and "generic" search terms, I can't find pictures of 141SQN Defiants. 264SQN were clearly the "media darlings".... can anyone help restore the balance a little?

Thanks in advance.

There isn't even one in The Defiant File by Alex Brew (Air Britain Publications)!

Hello,

You will find a rare photograph of a No.141 Sqn Defiant (L7000:TW-P), on p.113 of the 1st edition of Flintham & Thomas' Combat Codes. The shot is reproduced on p.133 of the 2nd edition, of the same work.

That makes me feel better about coming up short on pictures!

Thankyou Now on my Ebay watchlist. Do you know of any others?

Hello,

"Do you know of any others?" Yes!

Take a look at:

Allied Wings No.8 - Boulton Paul Defiant Part 1.
Listemann,Phil H. & Andrew Thomas.
n.p.,:Phil Listemann,2009.

On page 28, you will find a photograph of 141 Sqn Defiant, TW-O (serial not mentioned/visible). Go to p.31 for a pleasant coloured 3-view of the aforementioned; L7000:TW-P.

Might be the first time i've seen a "TW" Thankyou!

The Turret Fighters - Defiant and Roc by Alec Brew has at least 7 photos of 141 Sqn Defiants.

Thankyou, though that's maybe a bit beyond what i'd like to spend on the subject matter

Does anyone have an opinion on:

Camouflage & Markings: Boulton Paul Defiant. RAF Northern Europe 1936 -1945 Number. 8

by Robert C. Jones?

Well 45 years ago the series was regarded as ground-breaking stuff and has held its reputation well. There are no photos of 141Sqn.
