Hi guys

Nef, it is nice to see you back after quite some time of absence! I hope that all is well with you. Just in case you and Bogdan might find it useful here is his loss information:

26 June 1941: Leutnant Heinz Schmidt of I./JG 27 killed in Bf 109 E-7 (W.Nr. 3799) at Capuzzo due to unknown causes, 100%

Horrido!
