56 Squadron's C.O. Squadron Leader T.H.V. Pheloung RNZAF and his Typhoons pose for Charles Brown's camera between Cawston and Aylsham on April 21st 1943. See post 23 for update.
On 15th March 1943 Pheloung had abandoned his Typhoon over The North Sea after being hit by a flak ship. A Walrus from 278 Squadron Coltishall located him 35 miles off the Norfolk coast and picked him up. Pheloung was subsequently killed in action on June 20th 1943 during a low-level shipping strike.
