Re: eBay: Allied intrest
All I think it is VY-P as well - So 85 Sqn machine - of course N2319 is a well known VY-P and photos of it are on the Internet - but it has a white hexagon on the fin.. So almost certainly not that one - Also the Sqn code looks like it is painted over the serial which a correspondent of mine says looks like '2-3-8-9 ; P / R'
Air Britain serials has Mark I, N2319 'VY-P' presumed lost in France May 1940 but BoFTaN has May 17th 1940 85 SQUADRON, LILLE-SECLIN Hurricane N2319. Believed shot down in combat with Bf109s of 11.1.1G26 west of Douai 4.00 p.m. Pilot Officer P. P. Woods-Scawen baled out slightly wounded. Aircraft a write-off. http://www.rafcommands.com/database/...php?uniq=N2319 |
Re: eBay: Allied intrest
You're right Paul, it's not N2319, even the size of the serial number is completely different on well known photo of N2319 and this one. Using photoshop I tried to read the Hurricane serial number from all my photos of VY-P and I can see Px5xx.
last two digits are rounded at the top, so could be 0,2,3,6,8,9 I think these Hurri which meet that condition are : P2535, P2538, P2563 ? as I have in my fiels P2563 had code VY-B, P2538 was with 85 only until 10.01.1940 so Is that photo of P2535 ? Mariusz |
Re: eBay: Allied intrest
I feel it unlikely to be P2535
https://aviation-safety.net/wikibase/136966 As pilot killed on 16th May 1940 and this is BEFOFE loss of original N2319 'VY-P' on 17th May 1940 |

Gotta laugh at the seller's caption to #1.

Re: eBay: Allied intrest

How naughty.... :) Confess I do that basically every day to all the silliness our dear sellers manage to come up with...:D Cheers Stig |

A very good case in point of my e-mail regarding laughable sellers a) No it is not a "Beute Flugzeug" b) No it is not either a Yugoslav or Serbian aircraft (it is a Hungarian He 46) c) No it has not "kennung 30" (it is F.307) d) No it is not a "Doppeldecker) The seller is capable of ensuring that not a single statement in his sentence is correct. I think we all can agree that such a sentence is really "Weltklasse".... :) Cheers Stig |
Re: eBay: Allied intrest
I'm agree with you Stig, but seller or his associates now obviously don't know such basic data. Therefore, they can't correctly recognize such aircraft and when potential buyer try to find such photos by search engine they often didn't find anything. It's paradox that in the period before 5 or 10 years ago e-bay offered lesser photo in some category but included much more in some subcategory than today. The level of knowledgde of seller now is lower than previous. It's pitty both for seller and buyer as the finding of interesting item are much difficult and it is also one of the reason why selling didn't realized.
kind regards Newcomer |
Re: eBay: Allied intrest
newcomer,
It is apparent that seller knowledge is uneven. The expectation is that the seller should know something about what he is selling. In the present, there are no requirements aside from listing in the right category. Best regards, Ed |

Re: eBay: Allied intrest
The last one photograph of the P-51B/C wreck is interesting. It looks to be a 99FS, 332FG P-51, with the red tail, AX (A1?) Squadron code indicator and what appears to be the squadron crest for the 99th Squadron on the nose.

Re: eBay: Allied intrest
That does appear to be the case. Click on the top image in the link to enlarge:
http://sprueinternational.blogspot.c...embly-and.html There is a yellow and orange version of the squadron crest: https://www.alamy.com/stock-photo-99...-41671741.html |

Re: eBay: Allied intrest
The P-38 in #1995 appears to be a P-38J , s/n 42-104105, 37th FS, 14th FG that crash landed on Hungarian soil on August22, 1944. There is another photo of the other side of this A/C; see : https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/F...epan_11085.jpg
Unfortunately, there is no indication of this airplane in Joe Baugher's list nor in the usual MACR list. Based on the date of August 22,1944, the A/C pilot appears to be Lt. Mitchell S. Cwiek, 37th FS POW on this date., since this is the only POW listed on this date in the book "14th Fighter Group in WWII" |
