Its the The North Berwick Heinkel being taken to Edinburgh
Shot down in 1940, only the 2nd enemy plane shot down on British soil.

The first to be shot down was the Humbie Heinkel shot down by Flt Lt. Archie McKellar of 602 Squadron (city of Glasgow) who along with 603 squadron (city of Edinburgh) were scrambled to attack Heinkels making for Royal Navy ships in the Forth.

The pilot did a pretty good job of landing in the circumstances. |

Two separate crash landings. Both looked good.

Peter; they both look as if they would be categorised as Forced Landings,
Crash landings are normally described as having sustained significant damage.
It would be interesting to know what happened to those airframes as we had a collection of axis aircraft which were recovered, given RAF IDs and flown for assessment purposes by test pilots including Roy "Winkle" Brown _________________ Bristols should always come in pairs.
