Seeking photos of Black 13 of 2./JG3, the a/c of Oblt. Horst Tiedmann that FL intact near Maidstone, Kent, 18.8.40

[Larry Hickey]

Hello,

Over 20 years ago, in the BoB 50th Anniversary edition of Fly Past Magazine, they published two poor-quality photos of Tiedmann's Bf109E, W.Nr. Black 13, W.Nr. 1990 down in Abbey Field, Leeds near Maidstone Kent. These were attributed to a Dennis Rolfe, via the author of an account about the incident written by a Paddy Porter.

Does anyone have copies of the these photos or know how this Paddy Porter could be contacted to obtain copies? Our EoE profile artist needs these to help accurately re-create the appearance of this a/c, which had some details erroneously rendered in the version of it published in Vol 2, Section 2, of the Luftwaffe Colours Series on the Jagdwaffe.

I already have the two well-known photos taken of this a/c at night after the aircraft was partially covered by wheat (the British call this corn) to camouflage it.

Can anyone help?

Regards,
