Re: eBay: Allied intrest
Thanks Ed - some nice photos from Crete are appearing.
Although not particularly rare, the Blenheim is K7177/VT-N of 30 Sqn, which was abandoned (as captioned) at Maleme after being damaged on 27 Apr 41. |

Re: eBay: Allied intrest
Hi all,
nice photo of Hawker Hurricane from France 1940: https://www.ebay.de/itm/314038031506...cAAOSwJ-5iqunb Based on my investigation, this is probably a Hawker Hurricane Mk. I L1679 from 1.SQ - famous pilot F / O P.H.M. Richey, who landed the machine on May 11, 1940 at Tournes-Belval airport due to lack of fuel and the machine was to be destroyed on May 14, 1940 during the German bombing of this airport. More photos on same plane: http://modelari.org/viewtopic.php?t=2144 Faenor |
Re: eBay: Allied intrest
I have also seen Berry-au-Bac quoted as the location for this aircraft's demise.
Is Tournes-Belval confirmed please? |
Re: eBay: Allied intrest
Andy
Yes it is MEZIEREs/TOURNES- BELVAL ; it was A/F for I./JG1 between 16-22 may 1940. If you check page 80 of Die Jagdfliegerverbände der Deutschen Luftwaffe 1934 bis 1945 teil 3 you have same hangar available in the link given by Faenor (fith photo) Bertrand |
Re: eBay: Allied intrest
Super, thanks for the confirmation Bertrand, and thanks to Faenor for the initial posting of this location.
