This Hurribomber is pictured lifting off rw27 to take part in the Battle of Britain 70th Anniversary commemorative flypast at RIAT 2010. This aircraft served during WWII in Canada but is repainted to represent a 174 Squadron aircraft flown by Flight Sgt Charles Bryce Watson. On 19th August 1942 the real BE505 was shot down over Dieppe but, fortunately, the pilot survived to become a POW. This photo is copyright © Alastair T.
