There is another captured Hs 129, but looks different - but captured during operation in North Africa:

Could someone imagine the Wn on the Bf 110, of the last post, .087 ,,?

According to the seller it is WNr 3879

PS: I cannot locate this one straight ahead in MAW 1, but since Herrn Bock did not belong to the team at that point, I believe lots of Luftwaffe data is missing from the book.
One possibility is 28 Jan 1942 where a III./ZG 26 Bf 110 (no WNr) is said to have crash landed north of Ghemines.
If that is not it, at least I cannot see it.

Re: eBAy: Captured german planes
 

3879, on 20.nov.1941 in El Adem 100 %

Re: eBAy: Captured german planes
 

Thanks Rémi

Yep, there it is. The backside writing is thus wrong with two months.....
Wreck must have been there for awhile.
