Re: Luftwaffe aircraft down in Sweden 1940
From examples in my collection, these data plates do not hold the W.Nr of the specific aerolanes they originate from.
The B&W image is from 5518 lost on 18 August.
The colour one is from 5618 lost on 16 August.
None of the numbers bear any relation to the W.Nr although the example from 5518 has that number painted on the adjacent airframe section and can just be seen on the left hand side.
