Whilst attacking a temporary airfield North of Stendal on 22nd April
1945, a group of 198 Sqn Typhoons led by Sqn Ldr N J Durrant were
surprised to find themselves confronted by that rarest of fighters,
Focke-Wulf's awesome Ta.152, one of them piloted by the great Willi
Reschke of Stab / JG301, flying 'Black 13'. In the words of Sqn Ldr
Durrant: 'The first wave of Typhoons had broken up the airfield
surface with 500lb bombs and started some fires. I spotted some of the
enemy trying to get airborne through the smoke and as I made a low pass,
another Focke-Wulf passed me from behind at great speed. Thinking this
would be an easy 'kill', I fired a short burst, but the enemy was gone.
I remember thinking that there must be something wrong with my own
machine because I felt like I was standing still. Only later did I learn
what we had encountered. Thank God the war ended when it did.'
