I have to agree, seems the mig wasn't known in the west until about 42 onwards so must be one of those myths that surface from time to time . Although the story did come through the son of a guy who supposedly serviced them in Scotland. Looks like I'll never know.
HELP!!!!
I've heard a couple of stories over the last couple of days about one , possibly two, Mig-3's in service with the RAF in Scotland during WWII. Apparently they were nicknamed Banshee and were used to combat the Junkers Ju-86P. It would be interesting to model one but did it really...
