They take a little while to down load but they are an invaluable window to AFC opperations.
Through them I was able to confirm that Lt Benjamin of 2 AFC made an emergency landing immediately after sending a German scout down in flames on 4 Apr 18 near Villers Bretonneux. Which has almost certainly led to the mistaken belief by German observers, that the noted ace Heinrich Geigl of Js 16 met his end in a collision with a British aircraft. People since making the leap of faith that he collided with a missing 65 Sqn Camel - which in fact had been shot down in an attack on a German 2-seater (probably FAA 219).
Cheers Russ
