A very interesting event, with tragic outcome. Good to keep the memory alive.

Jonathan Read-Bone
Yes, Bruce … I'm even wrestling with this subject myself. There's so little published on this incident of which even the facts are sketchy if not disputed amongst those who have tried to research it. However, the whole scene has now captured my imagination and my course is set, whatever.

Very interesting story and good build which deserves more pictures!

Great topic defo following. That moment of impact will be interesting is the Spit supported from the train carriage?

Jonathan Read-Bone
Hi Gary, thank you.
I was able to remove the carriage roof to install passengers and add broken glass. This enabled also access to the bogie wheel rivet into which I was able to glue a clear plastic rod. Into the end of this, when heated and bent, I drilled and secured a piece of thick fuse wire which I did likewise into the end of the Spitfire's wing to hold it in place between window and roof. I then replaced the roof and added a bit of "bang" (cotton wool) to cover the join.

Interesting idea. Where did this event take place? Town names or Google Maps? I really want to look at what's there now. maps.app.goo.gl/P39kgi8jerxCcpBn7

Nice, thanks for sharing.

Jonathan Read-Bone
Zhivko Dzhakov, the location was the railway (between bridge and level crossing) and a farmer's field just north of the village of Bradford-on-Tone, and south of Taunton in Somerset. There is nothing there now ... just a field. The passing of 80 years has removed any evidence of the crash site. But it must have been quite a scene in 1943.

Following this one as well - interesting, I was not aware of this incident, involving my fellow countrymen!
