Sorry pbfoot, but the Wellington is HE158 NA-L of 428 Sqn which had a flak shell explode in the tail over Duisburg on 8/9 April 1943. The tough old Wimpy flew on with the undercarriage and bomb-doors down through loss of hydraulics. The N was sent back to see why the TG did not respond on the R/T and found the turret blown off, plus half the rudder and several yards of fabric skinning ripped away. With "minimal control", the pilot Sgt L F Williamson, RCAF returned safely to base at Dalton, Yorks., and landed. He was subsequently awarded the CGM for his actions. TG Sgt L Bertrand is buried in the Reichswald Forest Cemetery.

I'd be interested in that 419 Sqn aircraft you mention, though.

That FW-190 looks interesting Piet. It has Allied Markings but it has a swastika on the tail. A captured aircraft or possibly an infiltrator?

Great photos BTW.

Some brilliant (and new to me) pictures there guys. Can anyone add any details to the one of the Spitfire with the hole near the cockpit ? I'm also interested in any gen on that mottled He 111 with most of the starboard tailplane gone. The info is out there somewhere !

A few more for you:

Good stuff,

BC

Couple of crash series I found:
The first series is of a Capt. Sharpe's Hellcat losing its tailhook and flipping whle landing. The second is of a Maj Elton Mueller bouncing over the barrier and crashing on landing. Both pilots survived, from what I understand.
