Yes, Cees, you are right! The Spitfire Guy mentioned was W3333 of 129 Sqn, Sgt Boddy, lost 7.9.1941. I recovered the wreck, or what was left, way back in the late 70's early 80's. Yes, there was a write up in FlyPast that I think I wrote the article if I recall correctly. I still have some of the wreck, but as with many of these recoveries from that period a lot got dispersed and about ten years ago the Tangmere Museum Trust (!) scrapped a lot of the stuff. Yes...honestly!
