Not nice. I hope that your post will be removed for profanities, which really do not belong here.

Re: eBAy: Captured german planes
 

For the #1222:

I'm surprised by the shape of the wing. Do you know what plane it is (Re 200x) ? And where could be taken this photo ? Thanx.

Two Re 2002 at Lyon-Bron. Identified by Allied Technical Intelligence as Fiat G. 50!

Re: eBAy: Captured german planes
 

At first glance, I would be tempted to say the same thing as you. But something disturbs me with the tips of the wings: they are not rounded ... I own several photographs of the Lyon-Bron Re 2002 and the two on the #1222 are not the same.

Re: eBAy: Captured german planes
 

On the other hand:

• one aircraft is standing on oil drums and has a propeller, just like Re 2002 "black 2"
• the other is on its undercarriage legs (no wheels), has no propeller and a smashed cowling, just like Re 2002 "white 7"
• they are stood in front of the burnt-out hangar, just like the two Re 2002

A difference in this latest photograph is that the aircraft on its undercarriage legs no longer has its tailfin, possibly removed as a souvenir, and I would suggest that the same is true of the missing wingtips, hence the "clipped wing" appearance.

Re: eBAy: Captured german planes
 

Hi Xerumbe

They are both indeed Re 2002. The one on the left clearly has its engine intake
still intact on the upper part of its cowling.
The aircraft on the right is much more "fallen apart" and the intake is missing and so is also quite a bit of the port wing, including its rear and also the rounded wing tip. Another photo showing exactly this aircraft and its starboard wing where one can see the rounded wing tip still in place.

Cheers

A better photo of the a/c on the right can be seen in post #1199:

Just had to laugh Rudi (and thanks!)

That's exactly the photo I was talking about....:D
