Does anyone have any good photos/drawings of the Mustang I in which he shot down a Fw-190 over Dieppe for the first Mustang kill?

And secondly, is Mr. Hills still with us? I am working on a project that I would like to have the opportunity to share with him or his family.

Thanks in advance!

I should have said does anyone have any photos other that what can be found by googling - but thanks for your help!

Was hoping maybe someone like Jack Cook had some other photo in their hip pocket!

TIA!

This from Dan Ford's site (June 2008) suggests Commander Hills has already flown west.

This post, dated 2002, states Hills still survived following a stroke. No location info.
