Yes this is the same photo that appears in the 409 Squadron hard cover history book that was printed in late 1945 or 1946. Although I have not seen my father's book since my last visit several years ago , I do remember this photo very well. Thanks for posting it kenanrdk:occasion5::occasion5:

rafnav .... good to hear from you , please post the photo if you can , and do tell us the story please !!!

I certainly will do Eric....just bear with me , I seem to have misplaced a bunch of material. I have spent the last couple of years researching my grandfathers WW1 history ,so things got put away some where ??

Hi Eric , I think it is just another tarp , as the cockpit is tarpped. I could never make out exactly what the figure / logo was but above it is 3 Kills and 2 Probables. Sorry to say my father passed on 20 years ago ,but I still remember some of the stories he told !

Somewhere I have a newspaper clipping of it that is about 10 years old . If I can find it , I will relay it . That photo is in the Squadron History book that all members got after the War. My fathers book is still in my mothers possesion. It gives a list of all the kills made and by who !

I realize this is an old thread , but my father was an engine mechanic in 409 Sq. in WW2. I can't remember the exact model of Mossie the used but it had the " bulb" radar nose. There exists a photo of "A" for Able flying through the arch of the Eiffel Tower with very little clearance.
