The Dauphin were, late in the war, handed to the Navy. One of the pilots of Schreiner left the country after that and told the British some "secrets"(I've the debrief sent to British Intelligence somewhere...)

How can I help in this topic?

Best regards!

Wonder if that was the same guy I worked with in Rotterdam late 90's for Schreiner.
We had a computer game in the crew room and my high score handle was "The Falklands are British".
He spent ages trying to shift that. Really nice guy.
