Desperate Measures by Ivan Berryman. \u003cp\u003e Having already registered two victories since his arrival at 501 Sqn in the Autumn of 1940, Plt Off  K W Mackenzie found himself again in action against some Messerschmitt Bf.109s on 7th October, sharing in the destruction of one before vigorously pursuing another as it turned to head out across the Channel.  With his ammunition exhausted, Mackenzie was determined not to let the interloper escape and placed his Hurricane's starboard wing over the tail of the Bf.109, bringing it violently down and severing the tail of the German fighter which plunged uncontrollably into the sea. With his own wingtip missing from the impact and his engine now damaged by rounds from other pursuing German aircraft, Mackenzie limped his crippled Hurricane over the cliffs near Folkestone, where he crash-landed. He survived the incident, albeit with some facial injuries sustained when he was thrown against the gunsight, and was awarded the DFC for his gallantry. \u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSigned by Group Captain Byron Duckenfield AFC (deceased)\u003cbr\u003eand\u003cbr\u003eFlight Lieutenant Alex Thom DFC. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLimited edition of 20 artist proofs.  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Image size 12 inches x 8 inches (31cm x 21cm)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Military Aviation Art Prints","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54135137796429,"sku":null,"price":55.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0810\/5449\/9149\/files\/2026NEWb0411.jpg?v=1781870363","url":"https:\/\/militaryaviationartprints.com\/products\/desperate-measures-by-ivan-berryman-ap","provider":"Military Aviation Art Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
