Photo of new, unidentified Fairey Battle loss in France?
Hello,
Our team has drawn a blank on this FB apparently down during the Western Campaign of 1940. Anybody got any ideas? http://www.ebay.com/itm/220912332964...ht_4161wt_1041 Martin Gleeson comments: "A new Battle loss to me too. Abandoned hastily to judge by the rear cockpit machine gun still in place. No codes visible, so maybe it could be a newly-acquired replacement aircraft. Maybe it was a 103 Sqn. machine with their small codes toned down for night operations ?... Maybe it is my 'pet project', the Morannes Battle (L5455 of 142 Sqn., which force-landed on June 15th)! " Can anyone solve this mystery? Regards, |
