Looking for Photos & Eye-Witness accounts of wipe out of Fairey Battle Recon Formation over Western Front on 30.09.39

[Larry Hickey]

Hans,

Do you have a copy of this photo that you could supply? Springett is supposed to have been captured. Did he die soon afterwards in captivity? Do you know anything further about this. Are any photos known in Germany of the crash site for the Battle that was shot down on German territory, and where is specifically crashed? I would have expected that photos of this might have appeared in the German press at the time, and certainly there was likely some information published about the crash and the capture (?) of one of the British airmen.

Thanx for helping.

Regards,
