Re: eBay: captured RAF aircraft
 

Anyone got a date (and Unit) when the Harvard was captured?

Cheers

Re: eBay: captured RAF aircraft
 

Hello,

The Harvard serial should read "AJ807", not AJ907. The aircraft was allocated to 55 Repair & Servicing Unit RAF in the Middle East - struck off charge 8 April 1943.

See: A-B's AA100 to AZ999/Halley/2000(2nd ed)/p.71

Thanks Col

Yes AJ807 is correct. 907 went to Canada! Think it is at least the second time the photo is offered on e-bay. I only have the first edition of the AA-AZ register where it is listed only to the ME....

The aircraft (and unit) is not really something you expect to be captured or be spearheading the frontline. Perhaps something which was left behind during one of the German's massive offensives?

Cheers
Stig
