Re: Luftwaffe aircraft down in Sweden 1940
Stig / Andy.
Thank you both - It seems however that version (Ju 87 B-2) could be correct.
Plate from Sweden does not show W.Nr. - The 8-87.207 is Part Drawing Number - Weser built Ju 87 B-īs starting at 5070 and these running to about 7070 in late 1941. The Serie number (in field abowe) might give clues but I have not "de-coded" the Ju 87 part plate numbers.
Problem here is I do not have (enough) details on which factory made each in late 1939 or early 1940 period - WFG Bremen or WFG Tempelhof - or both - but construction month of the Swedish example (as an early one) gives possiblility of Ju 87 B-2 (i.e. 5521 known lost elsewhere as Ju 87 B-2).
I have made notes of all these plates and propose doing some more (better) calculations at a later date (as many details still lie schattered amongst my files and need tidying up!) All I can say now, W.Nr. of the Swedish example could lie somewhere near 5525.
I welcome also if some other members could help clear this issue.
Best regards
