D-Day, A New Dawn for Europe by John Young.


D-Day, A New Dawn for Europe by John Young.

The ever-popular and ubiquitous Spitfire is shown landing somewhere in Europe, bearing its invasion strips on the fuselage and wings. D-Day most certainly did mark a new day for Europe, the sacrifices and suffering well documented as Allied troops fought to give Europe back to its rightful Governments.

A lone Royal Air Force Spitfire is shown high amongst the clouds over the southern counties of England during the height of the Battle of Britain.

In the Playground of the Gods by Ivan Berryman 		George Gilroy was a highly decorated World War Two pilot who acquired the nickname <i>Sheep</i> from his pre-war work as a shepherd. Flying with No.603 Sqn, he shared in 8 aircraft destroyed and claimed 3 victories of his own with the squadron. With No.609 Sqn he claimed another 4 victories before moving to command 324 Wing. Here, his score continued to climb and he was finally credited with 14 victories and another 14 shared with another dozen or so claimed damaged or probably destroyed. He is seen here in his No.603 Sqn Spitfire XT-N X4271 in which he claimed Me109s on the 28th and 31st August 1940. This Spitfire crashed in Wanstead after he baled out on 31st August - he was hospitalised by a crowd who mistook him for a German pilot in this incident.

Tribute to George Kemp 'Sheep' Gilroy by Ivan Berryman. 		F/Lt Warner was shot down in combat with Bf 109s on 16th August 1940 at 17:15hrs off Dungeness. He was flying Spitfire DW-Z (R6802).

Tribute to Flight Lieutenant Warner of No.610 Sqn by Ivan Berryman. 		Spitfire Ace Basil Gerald <i>Stapme</i> Stapleton achieved Ace status with 6 victories during the Battle of Britain in 1940. He is shown here in his Spitfire XT-L of No.603 Sqn during combat with German Ace Franz von Werra - the German ultimately survived being shot down over Kent in this encounter. Stapleton went on to fly Typhoons before himself being forced down behind enemy lines and captured in 1944, and liberated six months later. Basil Stapleton died in 2010.
