By 1940 the R.A.F. had won the Battle of Britain – just. However, by the end of 1941 a new German fighter –The Butcher Bird – had appeared. This aircraft was superior to anything available to the R.A.F. Once again, the tide of war started to turn against Britain. The Butcher Bird was invincible. Attempts by the R.A.F. to shoot it down led to disastrous losses in aircraft and pilots – by summer 1942 the R.A.F. was losing 100 pilots a month. Something had to be done. The audience will discover from formerly classified events how a top-secret German plane became part of Welsh history. The performances will also coincide with the 60th anniversary of D-Day. Robert Pleasance, the co-founder of Prop-Wash Theatre said "We hope this play will give people a chance to begin to see the many hidden stories and heroes we have in Wales”. Mr. Pleasance has exhibited both plays and films in Chapter as well as being awarded 2 Golden Pixil awards in 2003.
