Hi some nice info here close up photos https://falkeeins.blogspot.com/2016/01/do-217-in-iikg-2-and-ii-kg-40-cognac.html cheers jerry

Hi I was wondering if anyone has looked into it before, from what i see in photos, rcaf battle TT's don't seem to have the winch and underfuselage drogue box, but there are guards around the lower tailplane for drogue line safety, so did the drogue get lowered out of the bomb aimers hatch ? I am doing research into a future model rcaf 1656 battle TT at pat bay Hq flt, which from photo does not seem to have an underfuselage drogue box cheers jerry

Hi Thanks with the crash photo showing a code letter S for 1050 i had thought it was my old eyes making it a code letter B for 1050 in this photo cheers jerry

Hi Many thanks to both of you for posting the photos and the explaination in the kittyhawk photo it is clear that it is 'wrapped up ' from the elements, it might even make an interesting model subject in the future some nice TT a/c in the background of the crash photos cheers jerry

Hi All many thanks for all the thoughts so the opinion is that they are all in open air storage and thus the date would be 6 feb 1944, before 5 OTU was formed cheers jerry

Hi I can't personally upload the photo so hope this works photo is at boundary bay, when you zoom in the closest two P-40's seem to show either white/yellow/nmf tails and aircraft ' X ' maybe a stripe at the mainwheel over the wing ? or just my imagination ? date is either 2 jun 44 or 6 feb 44 depending on who dated it, so maybe 5 OTU if june date any thoughts ? cheers jerry https://recherche-collection-search.bac-lac.gc.ca/eng/Home/Search?q=boundary bay kittyhawk &DataSource=Images&

Hi the aircraft movement card for LL670 ( i linked in thread above ) shows it didn't leave 514Sqn until late sept 1944 which means it was in Sqn use " in late summer early autumn 1944 " when the bars appeared cheers jerry p.s. might be worth checking tbe Sq orb at the NA/Kew for info
