He took off and headed over the German front and after about an hour or so he came across four 109's.
He was in a higher position which gave him an advantage over these 109's so he decided to dive towards them and take out a couple on the way down.... oh he did alright! he hit one which burst into flames and then another which started smoking. The other two 109's split formation and headed in two different directions hoping that one of them would get into the mustangs six and take him out.
Well the mustang pilot swung back around as tight as he could and caught up to the third 109 and then opened fire on him. He hit the pilot which he was killed instantly from a round to the back of his head but meanwhile the fourth 109 got behind this mustang pilot and fired on him, hitting his left side fuselage and his left wing. Unfortunately a round found it's way into the cockpit and hit the mustang pilot but didn't kill him so they say. The 109 pilot stayed behind him and actually ceased fire on this bloody unknown pilot only to follow him down until he landed in a field just short of friendly territory. He was able to land the mustang in one piece.
Witnesses said that the 109 actually pulled along side of this mustang pilot which looked vary similar to how the old pilots of WWI would pay their respect to their enemy with a solute as good gesture and sportsman like conduct. you see, back then it was more then just shooting down a plane, it was more of a respectful competition between two rivalries who basically loved to fly and challenge one another to an armed cloud dance.
Anyway, rumor has it... the mustang pilot made it down safe and was able to safely land his mustang *Bloody Unknown* to a safe ending. The pilot ended up climbing out of the mustang but was badly hurt and bleeding very bad.
They say he got out and actually was able to head for cover in the nearby forest but was never seen again by anyone. The 109 who shot him down remained circling above hoping that maybe he would see his true brother in arms and fighter pilot hoping to get a solute back from the British Pilot but he too never seen him again.
Well now the plane was left in this field and some local farmers got together and moved it back across the field and put it behind an old barn. The plane sat there only to never be touched again. For decades it sat without anyone ever touching it or even going near it... they just didn't want to get near this weapon so they decided to leave it alone hoping one day the British would come looking for it but as time went on, the British never came and the mustang sat even longer. year went by, and every once in a while if you went outside near the plane when it was calm outside, some say you could hear pilots talking over the radio while they were dog fighting each other. Kind of like ghost riders and bloody unknown pilots trying to get into a killing position on their piers.
After about 60 years there was a knock on the door of this farmhouse and this younger looking man was standing outside the door hoping someone would be able to tell him about the old myth of the Bloody Unknown pilot who had crash landed because it was in this area that this now simulator pilot (in this day and age) heard the crash took place.
Well they invited him inside and told him to come outside through the back door. They got out back in the yard and told him: Look over there! pointing to his left. He turned his head not knowing what they were talking about, not thinking anything about a mustang that crashed decades ago but then when he turned and looked he was stunned! He had to focus for a few seconds blinking his eyes to make sure he wasn't seeing a ghost like Ghost Rider who was always flying around on fire! he had to look again and again and he finally got the vision in his eyes that he's been seeking for years!. He finally found the Mustang that was shot down named Bloody Unknown! He was numb from head to toe and couldn't believe it.
He ran back to his car, made a phone call to some friends at A2A and they got together later on that same month and went back to collect the old mustang. They got it together as it was mostly in one piece and a very good find at that!,... they put it on a huge flatbed semi which I heard was driven by Trucker17 which would make perfect sense and got it back to the British homeland.
This is what I was told so then I decided to head over to England a couple years later and I found the location and the owner of the recovered mustang. They said his name is: Maddz or something like that and that he spent two years rebuilding the cockpit to a new modern cockpit with full avionics and was going to start on the exterior of the craft shortly.
I then asked if I cold take some pictures of it while they had it outside at the local airport so they were kind enough to let me snap off a few.
Below are the pics of the old fighter that Maddz finally recovered.
MERRY CHRISTMAS everyone!
