Country:  | I have seen that photograph before and if I recall correctly, she was much easier to spot than in this photograph. However, it's been so long since I've seen it, I can't remember where she is. I'll look around and see if I have a copy of the photo in a book or something.

Country: | Here's a description of the photo, but it doesn't say where she is:
Photo: One of the attacking four-engine Lancaster bombers is at the centre of the photograph during the attack on Tirpitz 15 September 1944. The effort to cover the area in smoke is self-evident.

| There were TWO occasions when the Tirpitz was attacked, and the Enemy fighters failed to meet it!
