Re: eBay: Allied intrest

Daniel Brackx' latest thoughts on Hurricanes make no mention of anywhere other than Schaffen for this aircraft:

Re: eBay: Allied intrest

Thanks Andy

The problem is that this present site gives less information about the Hurricanes than the previous data I have copied.

Oh well, it was a silly question by me about a very minor issue, so I let it rest... :)

1774 number 1.
First time that I have seen this Stirling in a photo that shows its RAF Squadron code after capture and application of Luftwaffe markings. Other photos usually have the Luftwaffe number .

Thanks Ed for the links

1774_4 : MS 406 n°918, GC III/2, Cambrai

1774_5 : Amiot 143 n°20 (E179) of GBMP (Groupe de Bombardement de Marche Polonais), Lyon second part of June 1940. Right side of this Amiot n°20 is page 284 of Les aviateurs polonais en France 1939-1940 by Bartłomiej Belcarz, Artipresse & FRROM.

As far as I can see, the main problem remains.
If you read your own first line (from 2017) on the Modelari site, H27 was reported as damaged at Schaffen, but also said to have been repaired well enough to be able to evacuate to Le Culot where it was later destroyed.

I don't know exactly when Daniel Brackx wrote that, but I have no further details, and I believe it was still an open case if H27 really was evacuated.

The photos certainly show an aircraft which is in no condition to move anywhere, except by towing (or dismantling)

It is an incredibly minor detail, meaning very little. Your post, however, reminded me that it was still a rather open question, so I just took a chance... :)

Cheers

Hi Stig,

yes, it is old info and this machine remained at Schaffen and was only towed behind the hangar.

Check these 2 photo and mainly the last plane on left - probably this is the plane, which escape from Schaffen, but I´m not sure for 100%.

Re: eBay: Allied intrest

Thanks Faenor

Let's go for the answer it never left Schaffen. :)

Cheers
