In 1996 during the filming of the John Sullivan penned mini-series ‘Over Here’ a pair of Messerschmitt Bf-109G-2 aircraft, G-USTV and a German example, were operated from the Black Hangar airstrip on the north-eastern edge of Swanton Morley airfield in Norfolk. Dave Southwood was the pilot of G-USTV and gave what can only be described as a spellbinding display of the Messerschmitt at Swanton Morley using the unique topography of the airfield to full extent. For the three or four of us present that morning, I was on refuelling duty that day, the sight and sound of the Messerschmitts chasing low across the airfield was very impressive. Here are a few pictures I took of G-USTV parked during a break in the filming, I hope they might be of interest.Chris

Not getting to see Black 6 during its flying years will always be high on my list of plane-watching disappointments.

You mean before it was turned into 'Black 9'?
