My Mango velomobile parked next to an information sign about the shooting down of a Flying Suitcase (Handley Page Hampden AE185) by a Flying Pencil (Dornier Do 215).

This happened on the 18th of August 1941. At that time it was very clear that the Nazis were the bad guys.

There is information available in various places, including here:

Velomobile stopped alongside an information board. Snow in the field behind.
Information board containing far more text than fits in the alt text field. It's about a British Handley Page Hampden bomber, AE185, which was shot down at 1:30 in the morning on Monday the 15th of August 1941 by a German Dornier Do 215 night fighter. They were known respectively as the Flying Suitcase and the Flying Pencil due to their appearances. The Hampden's fuselage was just 3 feet (914 mm) wide. My Mango velomobile is nearly as wide as this, at 750 mm.
According to a sign nearby, this is a point between St Petersburg (447 km away) and Pieterburen (36 km away).
