Re: eBay: Allied intrest

Thanks Ed

Very nice find of Austrian aircraft in 1937-38.
Not sure if the seller, Oliver Rogge, is trying to set a new world record in silly headlines, or what. Jeeeezzz:mad:
Seems he thinks Austria had recently been to war and captured a large number of aircraft.
The original photographer had a specific liking for the Caproni 133 and in particular DNr 34 which we can see after it had crashed near Aigen 24 Feb 1938 and also being dismantled and taken back to base
Other photos are of Avro 626, Focke Wulf 58, Junkers 52 (OE-HKA for those wonder what it says on the fuselage) and so on.

Very rewarding photos
Cheers
Stig

Re: eBay: Allied intrest

You're welcome Stig. The seller is confused about what he has. Thank you for the additional information.

Best,
Ed

Re: eBay: Allied intrest

Thanks Ed

Three more! Pity the original photographer concentrated on people instead of the aircraft....

Cheers

Re: eBay: Allied intrest

Thanks Col

Not many points to the seller of the photo....378 Sq (never existed) and crash date the 29th (wrong). Well, Spitfire and Nijmegen are correct, so perhaps one should be satisfied with two points out of four?? :D

Cheers

Ed,

Many thanks. You have found the culprit at last..........the German who cuts the serial numbers from RAF aircraft making it impossible for us to identify them !

This is Blenheim V5595 YH-P of 21 Squadron, lost on 18 July 1941. Shot down by ship's flak off Gravelines. Years ago there was another EBay image of this wreck showing the serial number before it was cut out.
See also 'RAF Bomber Command Losses 1941' by Bill Chorley.

Martin Gleeson.

Can't help you with much Faenor, but photo is sold reversed.
No serial number is visible (to me at least), but the code of the aircraft must be either RE-Z or RF-Z, ie 229 Sq or 303 Sq.

Cheers
Stig

Re: eBay: Allied intrest

Hi,

With the top of the fin crumpled drift, my 2 euros that's the RE-Z, V6704 of B. Mc Hardy (229 sqdn) who overturned with its Hurricane on October 26, 1940.

Old ebay photos showed this a/c just after the crash and the English pilot POW by German soldiers

Come, come Ed/Martin

The guy is just texting 'Fritz war hier' (way ahead of good old Kilroy...)
Your case would never hold up in court (my court...) :D:D

Re: eBay: Allied intrest

Come on Stig. One must get part of the enemy's pelt to hang on the wall, or tent.

Re: eBay: Allied intrest

That Blenheim with the name “Nicki” on it is interesting don’t see much early “fuselage art”
