Re: ID of force-landed Bf109E on beach at Wissant France
Hello,

It's far to be established, but I'm sure that everyone here thought immediately to one of Marseille's emergency landing.
For sure it's not a Bf109E-7, but since the Marseille plane WNr. given in lost list is a Bf109E-4/E-4B, why not: Plane pictured has a late canopy windscreen!
Concerning the "White 7" Larry is talking about, described in L. in Focus, It was an Erg./JG26 - if it's the same of course.
Last, keep in mind that WNr.6137, I./JG54, is in JG54 lost list: 25/08/1940, Wissant and it is a Bf109E-1.
Of course, two last pictures given by Goran in LEMB depict the very same plane we are talking about for the reason he explained: Propeller blades bending.

Cheers, Franck.
