Photos of Fairey Battles in France during 1939

[Larry Hickey]

Hello,

I'm looking for sources for photos of Fairey Battles in France during 1939, either on operational AF, in flight or after FL, crashes or shoot downs. I've been unable to find any photos of the five crashed 150 SQ FB shot down on Sept 30, 1939, in a famous incident, although we've been able to greatly expand our knowledge of what happened through eye-witness accounts and reports. In fact, I have NO photos of that squadron's a/c in France before the French Campaign began on May 10, 1940. Can anybody point me to sources of photos of this a/c for this period, which we are badly in need to create our color profiles? I believe that there must be photos in France taken by the Allied side of the a/c on French AF and that crashed or were shot down in France during this period, but so far I've not found much in the way of results. What am I missing?

Who can help?

Regards,

Larry Hickey
