LSP_Ron Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 A little dry but interesting. One has to wonder how a German pilot accidentally lands on an RAF airfield in England but it apparently happened many times daveculp, MikeMaben, Dpgsbody55 and 1 other 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BradG Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 Armin Faber made the mistake of thinking the Bristol Channel was the English Channel when he accidentally landed his Fw 190 at RAF Pembery. If he'd used his compass though he might have realised he was flying north rather than south, although that's easy to say sitting on my couch and not sitting in a fighter plane being shot at. scvrobeson, LSP_Ron, LSP_K2 and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeC Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 Thanks for posting an interesting film. More info on 1426 Flt here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/No._1426_Flight_RAF I did DG200 once, using the old Hasegawa kit. I thought I'd posted an RFI, but I can't find it, so here's a cheeky pic. mozart, R Palimaka and BradG 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilB Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 (edited) There are some interesting pictures of captured aircraft in the 2nd Tactical Airforce book volume 4. It seems at the war's end quite a few squadrons "acquired" captured aircraft and then used them for "familiarisation" Basically they painted roundels and used them to hoon about. Also some were used for basic transport hacks and the Bf108 was pretty popular and quite a few came back to the Uk as "personal transports" for senoir officers. (They stole them ) Air Vice Marshall Harry Broadhurst had his own personal Storch which I think someone kitted on here a while ago. Interesting stuff like Arado Ar232's and Siebel Si 204's were painted up and used as transport aircraft by the 2nd TAF.

That 109 looks so right in RAF colours Mike! Scary! MikeC 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mozart Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 This Ju88 landing at Woodbridge by mistake undoubtedly saved the lives of many bomber boys: http://aircrewremembered.com/captured-ju-88-radar-nightfighter.html scvrobeson and MikeC 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monthebiff Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 Ah yes, about the only G series Ju-88 with some cockpit shots available, not many but there are a few. Regards. Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
