Gone but not forgotten... from AeroHub
This painting by Anthony Saunders reminds me of my two late chums of 485 (NZ) Squadron who flew four sorties together from Selsey, in their Spitfire Mk.IXs, that long fateful day during the D Day landings. John Houlton and Frank Transom were great mates, then, and for the rest of their lives. John shot down two Ju-88s that day and a Me-109 during the following period. Had there been more enemy aircraft operating in their sector, I am sure John would have destroyed others. He had a very good eye, a determined nature and had already developed his deflection shooting skills during the defence of Malta where he had six confirmed kills and had damaged several other German aircraft before being posted back to the UK. ...
