Tich is depicting his own shoot down by Obfw Hermann Staege 2./LG 2
on 23 Feb. 1941. On this day Tich Lockyer was operating over Ostend with 1 PRU. He was flying Spitfire R6598.

Also attached with the sketch are a couple of pictures of Tich taken when he was a P.O.W.

Hi David,
Because your drawing created so much interest, here is my rendition to save a little work by whoever would like.

Nice one Keith. Now Kyt can copy it and replace his three ducks with it.

Hi David,
A couple more images that I found in my files, nicely detailed.

Cheers

Beautiful shots of Shuttleworth's Mk V. John Dibbs at his best, I reckon.

Hi All,
Has anyone out there got a good three view line drawing of the type of spitfire that was used over Malta with the large desert type air intake.
I'm busy building a 1/4 scale, but the inverted engine needs the extra room, to keep it hidden from view.

Particularly interested in a frontal view, have these to start with.

None seem to give a good frontal view.

Cheers
Keith

Hi Geoff,
Thanks for the pointer I am sure that if I join into the site forum, someone will help even if it's only, which are normally very good, a model 3. view.
Forgot all about that site.

Thanks
Cheers
Keith

Thought that these pictures might interest some. Three Spitfire PR Mk I Type G showing the squadron letters for 140 Squadron. I am not able to identify each pilot specifically I'm afraid.

Nice one Nick, pity we can't identify the pilots.
