Beaufighter TF Mark Xs (NV427 'EO-L' nearest) of No. 404 Squadron RCAF based at Dallachy, Morayshire, breaking formation during a flight along the Scottish coast. February 1945.
Congrats to all. You really are a chatty lot in here. Wish i had a quarter of the knowledge any of you guys and gals have. Going to have to a whole lot of reading to catch you all up. At least that way i'll be of some use to you.
Is there a website where if you put in the type of aircraft and an approx date you can find out what happened to a fighter. Rather like the Lost Bombers website?
Anyway thats off subject, again congrats everyone and may you reach the goals you have set for the forum.
Take care
Mike (sniper)

"You were given the choice between war and dishonor.

(Winston Churchill made this prophetic pronouncement in a House of Commons speech in 1938, just after Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain signed the Munich agreement with Hitler. Chamberlain returned from Germany with the signed agreement in hand, proclaiming that "peace in our time" had been achieved. Churchill attacked Chamberlain's "politics of appeasement" in this and many other speeches.)
