Here is an unusual photo, why would the Spitfire fly across the face of the Heinkel?

John,

I think from memory this was a staged PR stunt by the Germans using a captured Spitfire. Not my area of interest but again from memory there are a few other photo's showing it with smoke pouring from its engine, all set up of course.

Anyone, please if I am wrong just say !

If it was real you'd have to be very careful where you fired or you'd go up with the Spit.

Yes, good point there, Kerry ................ certainly would want to hit it dead in front.

Steve certainly makes an interesting call on this photo. What do you gents make of the 'black' patch ( centre of image ) on the wing. Could it be previous damage?
