Re: eBay: Allied intrest

Hi Kaiyan,

thank for the photo,but if you compare with other know photos, wrack from the e-bay link looks different - check the both engines....and I´m not 100% sure.

Another opinion?

Faenor

Re: eBay: Allied intrest

I have to agree with Faenor

If we look at the present photo on sale we can see it is leaning on its right side while all known photos I have seen of OO-AUI the aircraft leans on its left side.

There is even one photo taken when the wreckage is being cleared away, and the rear is still leaning to the left, as it also does on Kaiyan's attachment.

The damage to the rear of OO-AUI on all photos are also different from the present photo on sale.

No idea what it is though....

Cheers
Stig

P2315 ?

Has anyone seen a photo of this before

8th June 1940 – Fairey Battle I – P2315 – Thorougood – Op Poix – Attacked Stukas and were attacked by Bf 109s. Force landed at Maudie. Crew safe but Air Gunner wounded

Looks like it was un-coded

Re: eBay: Allied intrest

Paul,
Yes, I must have done, because my notes specifically say uncoded (photo)
It may have been the same photo I guess.

Re: eBay: Allied intrest

Ed,
Thanks as usual for seaching out and posting all of these.
#4 is interesting to me. It does indeed seem to show P7443, with the 54 Sqn code KL visible. It is usually said to have been KL-E, has anyone seen other photos confirming this please?

One other thing about P7443 is this photo:
https://www.worldwarphotos.info/gall...at-castletown/
The serial is not visible, but it purports to show P7443 as XE-K of 123 Sqn.
The problem is that P7443 is only known to have served with 616 Sqn, 41 Sqn, and 54 Sqn. So which aircraft is in this photo? I note that P8437 is said to have worn this code at some point.

Hi AndyMA - I have same photo in my archive by this serial number, but with notice, that it is probably typo and on the photo is plane P7494 - but it is old info without other investigation - maybe if somebody have ORB or some pilot logbook can confirm, which serial number is for XEoK plane
