I wonder if Sqd Ldr Wade was flying an Airspeed Oxford and not an Auster when he crashed. The only Austers I could find in a brief search are all single engine aircraft much like a Piper Cub.

The Airspeed Oxford was a small twin engine aircraft that was used for bomber training, light transport duties and the like. Similar to a twin engine Beech. Hmm will have to try and look further into this.

Nice WW-II color shot, I think, of a Hurricane Mk IV, Also known as the "Flying Can Opener"

And here is a shot a Spitfire Mk Vb taking off. Note the Polish insignia on the lower edge of the engine cowl.

All for now, have to get my nap in as I have to work tonight.

Shows how much I know about aircraft, good catch!

Good grief, look at the angle of those flaps on the Spit in the last image. They look more like speed brakes.

With a lot of the information still classified I guess we'll never know how or what really happened.
