Dear Iain
A while ago Ed West posted two photographs of a Battle QT-H apparently force-landed and a photo of the rear section with the s/n L5231. I never saved the photos at the time and only have two poor photo copies. I know the two seperate photographs are not proof positive of the a/c, but I value your opinion as to the possibility that this QT-H could be Roth's a/c.
kind regards
David.

Dear Iain
here is the attachment which didn't go on the last post.

I have had a look over the QT-H question.

I attach two images (in one file). By looking closely at markings on the fuselage (note particularly to the left of the ‘H’ plane code) I am confident the images are of the same plane.

One image shows the propeller unbent and the camouflage netting stakes in the background and, significantly dirt piled on the wing – all consistent with the image Dave (G-ASEA) posted.

On the other image the front of the plane is not visible but the surrounding trees are in the background. The dirt piled on the wing in the foreground is deceptive and gives the appearance of the wing not being present.

Could this be the answer to Many’s QT-H photo question?

I’ll do another posting on Dave Gaydon's question, hopefully this weekend.

(also hopefully I’ve now mastered up loading files to this site!!)

Kind regards

Hello Ian
The photo I have is exactly the photo you show (upper side) in your file, and I think also it is the same plane that the G-ASEA show.

Maybe the difference between the photo of G-ASEA and mine, the first, the Germans tried to use some woods to lift up the plane.

And for mine the dust or sand recovered the wings, with the feelings that the Battle has not his wing. And was taken early before...

Thank you (and sorry for my bad English)

Arnaud,
For sure you like it.
I guess that the man who wrote this, went to KEW and checked german archives before to write this.......
You are spoiling the memory of men who lived events in the real life but not in your imagination. I am sure some day ( and it will be soon ) you will have to assume it.
Sincerely yours.
Bernard.
