Re: Belgian Congo
Hi John,
Thanks for the info. I'm very interested in the Hardy and where it came from. There is a photo of the Hardy after its crashlanding here: http://www.baha.be/ Search on the WWII aircraft. There is also a colour side view. The description on the photo says the Hardy came from South Africa, but I believe it may have come from East Africa and 237 Sqn. The K File simply states that the aircraft was struck off charge 15/10/41. Theres actually a photo of K4316 on page 205 of the K File. I suppose it's possible that the aircraft came down in Belgian territory and the Belgians kept it. If it was given to them by the RAF/SAAF then you'd think they would receive more than one. Is the photo of the Hardy in Avions different from that in the above website? Alex
