Actually there is a picture like that, with group of pilots from 303 Squadron and, I believe, a tail of shod down Ju88. It is exactly like shown on that diorama. And it is very sad what happened to those brave pilots after WWII. If you interested look for a book which will tell you what happened to for example Mr. Skalski, or Mr. Urbanowicz after war ended. Look for "A Question of Honor" in Canada and USA , and "For Your Freedom and Ours" in Grate Britain.
It is the same book, just different titles. I will try to post that picure later.

The diorama is a recreation of the photograph, all the pilots are named on the instruction sheet. The photograph is one of a series of publicity photographs taken with Zumbach and his Spitfire BM144 in the background.
