I was intrigured by the fact no known picture of P3358 UF-H exists. However you publish a photo taken of Tangmere during the attack of Aug 16th 1940 and when Billy Fiskes machine would be on the ground with the comment 'Frustrating, it would be up against this very fence and not many yards away to cameraman's right'

The question I ask, is what was the source of the photo.. I cannot believe a photo was not taken of the aircraft and or rescue by the same cameraman as he was so close, even if it was subsequently 'censored' by someone of deamed not fit to print.. If it was a local paper, then the rest of the roll might exist in their photo archives

Just a thought
