M5Clive Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 (edited) After a little digging I have managed to find two of the air-to air-photographs from our July 10th mission - as detailed in other threads. The first shot shows 'The Belle' overflying Thorpe Abbotts - Home of the 13th Combat Wing's 100th Bomb Group. You can see the Control Tower museum below and 'Jessie the Jeep' waving a water pistol! The second picture shows 'The Belle' coming back inland after our sortie out over the coast of Suffolk and heading back to Duxford. The picture was taken from the camera ship (which can be seen from my picture (below) taken from behind the co-pilot's position) The Spitfire peeled-off moments after the picture was taken. Same river, same place, same time - different perspectives. The resolution of the pictures are a bit poor - but as yet, the best I've come-up with.

Jessie The Jeep Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 The first picture is fantastic. Colours, sharpness, and of course location! Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
