Another view of Bf 109E-1 W/n 6296F on display at Croydon. For a country under air attack, there appears to be a remarkable lack of civilian gas Masks visible

Item 45 Bf 109E-1 W/n 3271 On Friday 30 August after being shot down by Sqn Ldr T.P.Gleave of No.253 Squadron. Censorship was presumably to prevent the enemy knowing that this particular aircraft was captured.

Item 11 ends its sorties from Beaumont-le-Roger in a wheatfield near Shoreham. Note that the 'R' quoted as its marking is, in fact, the unit badge of JG.2

A Bf 109E of 7/JG 27 is salvaged from Windsor Great Park. On 30 September 1940, Oblt. Karl Fischer intercepted two Ansons but during his attack stalled and crashed.

Bf 109E-4, now known to have been W/n 5587, made a belly-landing at the Farm of Mrs.J.Weir at East Langdon, having been shot down by Pilot Officer B.J.Wicks of No.56 Squadron on Saturday, 24 August. There are other press photographs of this aircraft. Oddly, one of them shows the fin as having one less victory mark than on other prints.

We could not resist printing the photo on the back cover. The scene is Calshot and the boat is a target launch. Its crew appears to be prepared for gas bombs and/or sunstroke since close examination will show that his headgear is a pith helmet and not a tin hat.
These launches had an armoured cabin which protected the crew of three and the topee was to protect them from concussion while gas masks were worn as a protection from CO fumes in the battened-down cabin.
Calshot's target boats used a range in Christchurch Bay, an area obviously treated as a plague spot by local motor boat owners. An obvious parallel was flying one's Moth near a naval force expecting a Queen Bee.
It was these launches that AC.2 Shaw (Lawrence of Arabia was his better-known designation) helped to design, according to his biographers and they were obvious candidates for radio control. Two Singapore IIIs and a Stranraer are in the back ground, or should we say backwater?

The history of Manston in AM.1/80 has caused Peter Green to dig out the above photograph of the north-west corner taken around 1928. On the airfield are Virginias of No.9 Squadron and the hangar in the background illustrates 'shallow' design where the depth of the hangar was considerably less than the width, in contrast with most hangars constructed from 1925 onwards which had doors on the narrow ends.

The circumstances of the accident are not known. S1250 carries the Fleet Number '46' and appears to have been a carrier aircraft mounted on floats while the carrier was in harbour. A float has come off and a wing damaged; probably repairable.
