Any informations about this particular machine ?

Cheers

From the amount of dirt on the wings, I would guess a bomb or artillery shell landed close to it causing the damage.

Looks like "B3"+?? can be seen in the second link.

It probably makes sense to consider these photos together rather than in separate threads. Many will have been taken at the same locations(s) for example.

P.S. Thanks to the members who have brought these pictures to everyone's attention.

Re: wreck coded ??+W5
 

Is that a Dewoitine D.520?

Re: Texas History Photo Collection
 

ok as they said.. never mind If i would have liked them in separated threads as i did put it. Learning all the time....

Re: Texas History Photo Collection
 

Many thanks for your informations, Karl.

Nick, i absolutely concur. Thanks!

Much appreciated!
Marc

Hello Snautzer,

First, thank you for posting these interesting photos.

Regarding your Ju87 photos #4 and #6, CEA266 lists this aircraft as: Ju87D-3, WNr. 131031, CE+VE, SG10, Metz-Frescaty, France.

Whatever, thanks a lot Snautzer for your "work". I do appreciate.

Best regards.

Another shot of it. (I can't post hyper links again. What is going on with the forum? Anytime I include a hyperlink I get a "Service Temporarily Unavailable", but it still accepts plain text. When I can, I'll update it.)

Not that bad all in all. Seems like someone has opened yet a small treasure box...

Re: wreck coded ??+W5
 

Franck,

if not a D.520 what would you say it is? The later link seems to confirm that it is a 520: V-engine vs inverted engine, landing gear, and small swoop shape leading into the vertical fin.

Re: Texas History Photo Collection
 

John,

I'm not 100% sure, but it could well be one of the few Arsenal VG 33 built.

Cheers
Marc

The fuselage aft of the canopy is different, gear doors are different, ventral radiator is different.

Thanks Revi and Von Alles!

Re: Texas History Photo Collection
 

That's what I thought. Thanks Von Alles.

Re: Texas History Photo Collection
 

So it is!
Thank you very much.

Re: Texas History Photo Collection
 

Hello,

The Ju88 looks like it could be from an old Battle of Britain acquisition following a FL there in 1940. Full code doesn't seem to be readable. Can anyone determine where this a/c may have come from and when?

Re: Texas History Photo Collection
 

A Me 262 I havn't seen before. Thank you Karl for the info and Marc for posting it.

Re: Texas History Photo Collection
 

ok... I went trough 1000+ of threads of pictures. But you're welcome

Re: Texas History Photo Collection
 

You're welcome, Dan.

And Michiel, we all know what we owe you ;)

Cheers

Re: Texas History Photo Collection
 

Snautzer,

I can imagine what you did to get them all. Thank you very much.
With you permission I will put the Bf109 photos on my Facebook https://www.facebook.com/groups/1528571170740726/ Bf109 from Anton to Karl group.

Best regards, Franck.

Re: Texas History Photo Collection
 

Humm,

It seems they made a Bond tour around with it. :)

Re: Henschel Hs129B-1 wreck in germany
 

It looks like U (or H) and Q. Would be nice to know the full radio code.

Re: Texas History Photo Collection
 

Hi Dénes,

this is either Hs 129 PH+UC (Werknr. unknown) or PH+UQ (Werknr. 141407). Both were found by american troops at unknown locations (one source says Wiesbaden, another München).
Many photos of them exist, and up to now I thought they all show the same plane, namely PH+UQ. But on closer scrutiny it seems that's not the case and PH+UC also survived the war and was also captured. Can someone shed any light on this?
