Before dawn on 20 July 1940, Blue Section of 56 Squadron intercepted and shot down a Ju 88 of 4(F)/122. Pilot Officer Geoffrey Page achieved a shared victory flying his Hurricane Mk I "Little Willie". With their spinners painted blue for identification, Alan Geoffrey Page, Flt. Lt. "Jumbo" Gracie and Percy Weaver comprised the Blue Section. Their Bogey, the Ju 88 was on a photo recon mission. The Hurricanes chased the bomber in and out of the clouds; this scene shows just after "Jumbo" Gracie fired then peels away and Page gets in his last burst before the Ju 88 disappears in a cloud bank. Blue Section was not sure they scored a victory until it was reported that the Luftwaffe bomber had crashed at Cockett Farm, St. Osyth. Blue Section shared the victory. One of the RAF's most delightful and distinguished gentlemen, another perfect example of "..one of the few", Geoffrey Page ended the war with 15 victories.

Personally autographed by the Artist and pilot Wing Commander Alan Geoffrey Page, DSO, DFC*, RAF (Ret.)
