Photo 02: Captured Fieseler Storch, c1944 This Fieseler Fi 156 Storch was captured by the British in the Western Desert in 1943, and was then "adopted" as his personal plane by Air Vice Marshal Harry Broadhurst, a former Battle of Britain ace, who was senior air staff officer to the commander of the Desert Air Force. Upon his return to the UK the Storch went with him where he was involved in the preparations for Operation Overlord, as commander of 83 Group.. Broadhurst piloted Winston Churchill in the FS over to Normandy six weeks after the D-Day landings for a morale-boosting visit to the troops.. This image could have been taken at Duxford where the photographer was stationed for a time..
