Some of you will have seen this sketch before as I have posted it elsewhere. However it is of interest and I feel it warrants inclusion here.

The drawing is taken from my father's P.O.W. "Wartime Log." He and the artist Tich Lockyer were prisoners together.

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.
