Wolf 23 entering the runway for a one-hour training sortie followed by a few circuits. Below the present-day crew names, tribute is paid to Leading Aircraftman Reynolds of Bomber Command. He and his crew were killed flying a, then already obsolescent, Fairey Battle I during a heroic attack on one of the bridges over the Albertkanaal in Maastricht (NL). This Typhoon II was first flown in May 2013 and delivered in July 2013. This photo is copyright © Erik Sleutelberg, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
