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.

You can find a historical recreation of RAF Kenley for COD HERE ... You're welcome

Something you don't see in Google earth is that kenley is built on the top of a hill. When walking around the perimeter track and looking in towards the centre of the field you can only see about a third of the way across. The remaining 2/3 lies on the downslope and cant be seen.
