From reading Alfred Price's "The hardest day" the top photo was doctored by the Germans to appear in their propaganda magazine Der Adler by adding "bomb bursts":



The aircraft is a 64 Sqn Spitfire. Just think who's footsteps you might be standing in Ivan...thanks for sharing!

Thanks Typhoon, but I meant the aircraft taking the photo. I think I can recognise a Spitty by now

Ahh, t'was a Dornier Do17Z of 9./KG76 which Staffel was attacking at low level, 18 August 1940. (Sorry, it's 2.31 am here and I'm just finishing a major assignment.)

Hmmm, is the wartime picture faked? I have it on good authority elsewhere in this forum that vulching was not done on RAF airfields!

The problem was the slack German moderators - they allowed their gamers to get away with anything during the 1940s.
