Hello ,
Par pur intérêt pour le Spit XII à moteur Griffon , quelq'un a-t-il étudié le crash du MB805 à Crillon / Villers-sous-Bonnières ? Stenborg est enterré à Beauvais-Marissel . Un as néo-zélandais et une belle bestiole taillée pour la bagarre ça a de la gueule non ? Il semble que l'info dans le Mavré soit inexacte , à confirmer.
Laurent

F/O Grey. Stenborg grave at Beauvais-Marissel

http://www.nzetc.org/tm/scholarly/tei-W ... .html#n150

First hand account in Malta

F/O Grey. Stenborg D.F.C., NZ of 91 Squadron reported his combat of 24 August, 1943:

I was leading Yellow section of 91 Squadron. The Squadron was passing between Bernay and Beaumont aerodromes when I saw 2 F.W. 190’s diving (not at all steeply) from 6 o’clock. I headed around into them and chased one down. I estimated I was at about 700 yards when I first fired – hoping he would turn. He turned right and by cutting the corner I drew into about 450 yards. I gave him two or three bursts closing to about 300 yards and observed a strike on the left wing root and pieces falling off. In my last burst his hood – with bits and pieces – flew off. (He probably jettisoned this). As I then saw the Pilot getting out I ceased firing. The F.W. 190 crashed into a field from 200 feet and burst into flames. I claim 1 F.W. 190 Destroyed.

91 Squadron's Intelligence Form 'F' records the following actions from 4 September, 1943:

At 17.30 hrs. the Spitfire XII wing left base to act as escort cover to 36 Marauders bombing St. Pol marshalling Yards. This was Ramrod S.31 Part III.
When leaving the French coast on the way home near Le Touguet at about 12000 feet, S/Ldr N. A, Kynaston saw the close escort being engaged below at about 6000 feet, and led 91 Squadron down to join in.
S/Ldr N. A. Kynaston himself found 2 F.W.190's endeavouring to get on his tail. He out-turned them and one dived away. The other F.W. 190 turned away and climbed up after another Spitfire nearby. S/Ldr Kynaston thereupon turned quickly, got on the tail of this E/A, climbed and caught it, and opened fire from about 200 yards as the E/A was turning slowly. The F.W.190 burst into flames, turned over and dived into the sea. The pilot was seen to bale out.
Meanwhile, F/O G. Stenborg, D.F.C., (N.Z.) positioned himself behind 2 F.W. 190's which were diving steeply. They pulled up steeply and he had no difficulty in following. He opened fire when they were in a turn to the right from about 350 yards and saw strikes near the tail of one. The E/A half rolled and disappeared. Closing very fast on the second F.W. 190, F/O Stenborg saw strikes all along the fuselage from 50 yards range; and the E/A dived straight into the sea. This is confirmed by F/Sgt. Blumer (No. 2).
P/O J. T. Watterson also fired a 1½ second burst at a F.W. 190 range 300 yards closing rapidly using cannon only. He was forced to break quickly and could not observe the result of his fire, so cannot make a claim.
