Re: Need codes for 129 and 165 Sqn Spitfires in '45
Old thread, new info on postwar Spitfire crashes in Norway. Two mysterious pictures have emerged showing the wreck of a Spitfire at Kjevik being used for battle damage repair practise.
This was explained in an edition of Aeroplane Montlhly, where it is shown that on July 4, 1945, the pilot of this aircraft performed some aerobatics over the field. The engine quit while he was inverted and he tried to perform an emergency landing. He hit a jetty short of the runway, killed an British onlooker, but was able to walk away from the wreckage. These are my data: 04/07/1945 Spitfire Mk IXe NH517 AP-F 130 Sqn RAF Kjevik Crashed short of runway after inverted flight over airfield. 1 British onlooker killed.
