Gentlemen,
I was on the Channel Ferry recently and I saw first hand how cold and lonely the Channel is. To land in this desert and die, must have been a terrible experience for all sides. Especially if in sight of land.
In my Ferry photo, you can see France. We were about half way across the channel to Calais from Dover at this point.
Hurricane v Me 109 low over the Channel (Der Kanal), (La Manche).
Head to Head! Both are far from home and alone.
Both are damaged. Me 109 takes hits in the cowling, the Hurricane receives flaps' damage and looses speed.
The 109 pilot somehow gains an advantage...
The Hurricane pilot uses his slow turn to escape...
The dual continues...
After what seems an age of time, the Me 109 looses power..
The Hurricane pilot in his damaged machine, edges slowly alongside the Me 109. Who is the pilot? Is he the same as he?
His engine slows and stops. The end is near...
The Hurricane pilot turns to look for his fallen foe. Nothing. Only the sea. The Channel.
A tribute to all who fell.
Best Regards,
MB_Avro.
