OUR WARTIME HERO
MJ627 was built at Castle Bromwich in 1943 as an LF MK IXc and entered service with 441 Squadron of the Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) serving with the RAF.
MJ627’s first operational sortie was flown on 25th September 1944 from advanced landing ground B70 in Belgium.
Our Combat veteran MJ627 shooting down an ME109 on On September 27, 1944
“As I looked over my shoulder, lo and behold, there was an Me 109 alone, with me now very manoeuvrable because I didn’t have that tank. It took about two or three seconds for me to get in line, and another second or two after that I hit the 109. That was the end of it – it only took 11 shells altogether. Just a quick burst and it went down immediately” – Sid Bregman
