Kiwi pilots Flying Officers Maurice Mayston, and Royce De Tourret from 485 NZ Squadron walk away from their Spitfires after returning from a mission over Normandy, shortly after D-Day.

Taken at Advanced Landing Ground Selsey, June 1944.

On D-Day, Flying Officer 'Johnnie' Houlton of No. 485 Squadron shot down the first Luftwaffe plane that day, a Junkers Ju88.
During the week after D-Day, No. 485 Sqn downed nine Luftwaffe planes without losses.

The two ground crew in the photo are Flight Sergeant Bong'ard and Sergeant Parker.
