"Spitfire Special Delivery"
by Michael Turner
Flt. Lt. Raymond Baxter's Spitfire Mk. XVI narrowly avoids a
church spire as 602 Sqn. make a precision low level attack on
the V1/V2 headquarters in The Hague on March 18th 1945.

RAYMOND BAXTER, who became a household name as a
radio and television commentator and presenter after the war, flew
Spitfires during WW II. One of his many memorable exploits against
the German V1 and V2 effort, graphically described to the artist,
is the subject of this print.

A Dutch eye-witness wrote "1945 the 18th March! I'll never forget!
As a 17 year old boy I found myself somewhere on the fourth floor of
the building, and when I looked out of the window I saw aircraft diving
down from the sky and flying straight in my direction. Air raid!
The building was badly damaged and our dwelling (adjacent) was
totally destroyed, but we all survived including our spaniel Robby!"
