Arado Ar 96 trainer shot down by an 80 Squadron RAF Tempest on April 3rd 1945 near Hannover

The attacking pilot was Evan Dall “Rosie“ Mackie, DSO, DFC & Bar (October 31st 1917-April 28th 1986), a New Zealand fighter pilot and flying ace that chose to join the Royal New Zealand Air Force (RNZAF) instead of staying with the RAF and as such, with 21.5 victories credited, he was the highest scoring member of that service. He would go on to destroy two similar aircraft six days later on April 9th.
