My dad was with the 350 at the time but I don't think he was present at the time.
The 350 was made up of mostly Belgian pilots.
My dad was with the unit for about 18 months before moving over to bomber command.
He sure did love the Spitfire.

Thanks for the link to see more about the 350. Interesting photos - yours & the additional ones on the link. Too bad your Dad wasn't there the day Universal came to film things.
ReplyDeleteHe may have been, but I am sure it was more about the Belgian issues and wanted to show they were fighting back.
DeleteDad was ground crew, so that was never news worthy.
Isn't that always the way. Some of the most important work is never seen or noted outright. A bit unfair!
DeleteHe could've been famous! Interesting post~
ReplyDeleteLove your photos. The camera shot is an excellent match for the prompt.
ReplyDeleteGood to see that the movies included the RAF. Thanks for your still photos
ReplyDeleteGreat photos! I also love the one with the video camera in it.
ReplyDeleteMy father worked on Spitfires during the War and never lost his love for them.
ReplyDeleteSame with my dad.
DeleteA great link with the prompt
ReplyDeleteAn excellent take on the theme. The second photo is special.
