My father, Hubert William Harding recovered the wreckage of Flying Officer Jones' aircraft during his work in RAF "recovery" in North West France during World War 2. He was told by villagers that officer Jones' Spitfire had been shot down and would have crashed into a local school had he not deliberately crashed into nearby cliff face. They gave these photos and information to be passed on to his family so the truth of his heroic act could be recognized.
