Given the wonderful contributions of Cliff and Regle, we now have fredjhh as well. This is amazing stuff, and I have yet to enjoy the recollections of the chap flying that beast of a Typhoon.
Thanks to you all and please keep it up.
Regle: here is a Wiki link I found about 'Shrage Musik'
Schräge Musik - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
- interesting to note that apparently in early 1944 a German night-ace with 61 'victories' bought it when a Halifax he shot up fell directly onto his HE 219.
And fredjhh: interesting that you first flew from Ainsdale sands. I live not too far away from there, and the first flight I ever took in a light aircraft (Cessna) was from that very strip in about 1990. I was not flying it, it was a short jolly for my young sons at the time. Somebody was doing short pleasure trips from there, an 'hours building' young pilot as I recall.
