You're welcome Bertrand.

Re: eBay: Allied intrest

Nice founding - P-40, from MTO, based on the flag probably from 33rd FG

This is a Hungarian Heinkel 46 with no real Allied connection, unless we talk about allied to Germany....

Terribly over prized album for a ground crew member of 496 FTG.
Not a single photo interests me as such, and the only amusing items are a bunch of photos
where a visiting Halifax is identified as a Lancaster.

Re: eBay: Allied intrest

Aircraft in third link of post 2822 is clearly a 103 Squadron Fairey Battle.

Re: eBay: Allied intrest

Yes indeed, it is P2191 which was lost on 14 May 1940, force-landing near Sedan.
Both crew were safe.

Re: eBay: Allied intrest

Hi all,

nice founding from previous post (thank you Edwest) - look like P-47 serial number 42-76000, but I have no more info about this plane, just Written off (damaged beyond repair) during landing on Bari airfield - date 4th January 1944

same seller, probably same plane

Looking for more info, thank you

The last digit could be either a 0, 6 or 8. Since it does not look like a landing accident you walk away from
I would say 42-76000 is out.
Also adding the fact the photo is on the German e-bay making it likely to have its origin from a German
and is thus even less likely to be -76000.

42-76006 reportedly had the code 82, and if that is correct, she is out as well.

42-76008 was shot down by flak 7 June 1944, has no known code and seems to me to be a much better
candidate, perhaps the best?

Re: eBay: Allied intrest

You're welcome Faenor. And thank you Von Alles.

Re: eBay: Allied intrest

42-76008 is a good candidate. Look at the vegetation in the background of the first photo I posted.

76008 (MSN 4359) 65th FS, 57th FG, 12th AF, Alto, Folelli, Corsica; Damaged by small arms fire while strafing a target at Sensano and crashed later near La Madonnina, Italy June 7, 1944; Pilot killed. MACR 5788.

Re: eBay: Allied intrest

Post 2831 #4 is Battle K7696/QT-I of 142 Sqn, lost on 19 May 1940 (3 crew POW).
It was often photographed by Germans, in increasing states of disrepair.

Re: eBay: Allied intrest

#6 looks like Battle L5231 of 142 Sqn, lost on 10 May 1940 (3 crew POW).
I had the code as QT-G, but on cross-checking I see that some sources list it as QT-C.
Confirmation anyone please?
