Spitfire Mk. I

N3180 KL-B, 54 Sqn, 28 May 1940

On 28 May, Pilot Officer Al Deere attacked a Dornier (some sources say a Do17, others a Do215) over Dunkirk. The return fire from the Dornier was very accurate and Deere had to make a forced landing on a beach in Belgium. He was knocked unconscious by the landing and was dragged from the wreckage by a soldier. N3180 caught fire and was burned out on the beach, although the fire was put out by the tide!

Deere walked to Oost-Dunkerke where his injuries were tended. He then hitched a lift in a lorry to Dunkirk, got on a boat to Dover and took a train to Hornchurch. How nonchalant is that!?!

Kit: 1/48 Tamiya Spitfire I

Decals: Southern Expo 48-D001

Extras: Ultracast prop, metal seat and cockpit entrance door; Eduard Zoom cockpit set

The Group Build is now closed. Many thanks to everyone who took part.

To those who didn't quite finish their Spitfires (myself included) feel free to continue to update your build threads.

I'll get the best of show poll up shortly.
