Re: Which stories behind these photos?
The codes ZP identify this as 74 Sqn
This is interesting, as according to Air Britains RAF Aircraft W1000- Z9999 there was a gap in the production of ten Spitfire Mk V from W3216 to W3226. So W3219 did not exist, was never built and was never lost (well never say never!). However its very likely to be W3210 which was lost to 74 Sqn on 27.6.41 flown by P/O WJ Sandman who was shot down and made POW while escorting Blenheims to Hazebrouck.

Re: Which stories behind these photos?
This Hampden with codes VN-X is instantly identifiable as belonging to 50 Sqn and of the known Hampdens that were captuted more or less intact by the Germans, P2070 of 50 Sqn lost on 25th/26th August 1940 is the most likely candidate. In fact I think the serial number is just about readable as P2070. It ran out of fuel and landed at Lautersheim on a sortie to Berlin.
The other Hampdens that the Germans got hold of were L4146 QR-P and P4324 also QR-P both of 61 Sqn, AE265 of 144 Sqn PL-? and AT109 UB-C of 455 Sqn. These details come from The Hampden File (Air Britain Publications) written by the late Harry Moyle (ex Hampden crew member, expert and friend).

Re: Which stories behind these photos?
This is actually a well known crash of a 501 Squadro Spitfire on the beach. Unfortunately, I don't have the date in front of me but it was in 1941.
Here's another puzzler that I've wondered about. It's a Mosquito FB VI on a dock in presumably France. No squadron letters visible. Last edited by kaki3152; 22nd April 2011 at 22:50.
