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. GC |

Re: Dornier Do17 shot down Stour river Ipswich 1941
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 Stig |

Re: Dornier Do17 shot down Stour river Ipswich 1941
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 Stig |

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