Hi All,
I always find it interesting when photos of destroyed a/c turn up. It must have been difficult to destroy a/c when rapidly evacuating an area.
cheers

Re: Which stories behind these photos?
Many thanks for sharing these informations, Larry.
De Haviland Dragon (X9395?)...evidently not totally destroyed but probably lacking part of engines and suffering structural damages.
Regarding the place, Mourmelon airfield better than Reims (although in the same area)... interesting precision.
As for the Magister, t'would be nice to discover a third photo depicting its serial number!

Cheers,

Re: Which stories behind these photos?
Hi Parabellum,

Wonderful photograph ! Thank you for posting it.

Could the Hurricane in the foreground be N2453 of 245 Squadron ? "Lost 5.40" according to Air-Britain's 'L1000-N9999'. Is that an overpainted 'X' between the 'l' and the roundel ? 245 Squadron used the code 'DX'.

Keep posting ! Regards,

Martin Gleeson.
