Re: Can anyone ID the mishap with this Fw200, F8+CB of I./KG40 at Trondheim?
Hi Larry,
You can notice the FuG 200 radar on the nose. That alone whould date the picture in 1942 or even much later. This code I have from following "mission reports" dates.
F8+CB OPS 26.03.1941 Bx/Stavanger ( )
F8+CB OPS 30.03.1941 Sv/Stavanger ( )
F8+CB OPS 08.04.1941 Bx/Bordeaux ( )
F8+CB OPS 29.03.1941 Bx/Stavanger ( )
F8+CB OPS 12.04.1941 Sv/Bordeaux ( )
F8+CB C-3 OPS 24.05.1941 Bordeaux/Brest (0050)
F8+CB OPS 23.08.1941 Cognac/Cognac ( )
F8+CB OPS 03.10.1941 Cognac/Cognac ( )
F8+CB OPS 06.10.1941 Cognac/Cognac ( )
F8+CB OPS 19.07.1942 Vs/Vaernes ( )
F8+CB OPS 28.07.1942 Vs/Vaernes ( )
F8+CB OPS 03.08.1942 Vs/Vaernes 04. ( )
F8+CB OPS 09.08.1942 Vs/Vaernes ( )
F8+CB OPS 15.08.1942 Vs/Vaernes ( )
F8+CB OPS 18.08.1942 Vs/Vaernes ( )
I am not that much of Fw 200 specialist but version is likely C-3 or later.
Best regards
