Re: W34 with strange equipment down during the Polish campaing

Hello,

Thanks Tom and Tony for the quick input. It sounds like we are all talking about the same a/c. My understanding is that this kind of registration, WL-OQUO, is a civil registration, not military. Is that correct? Why would an a/c of a Courier unit subordinate to Army HQ be carrying a civil registry (if the unit ID is accurate), if my understanding is correct. Reminds me of the early registration for the Seenotflugkdo units.

Also, is Dogsbodymk1 correct that the unusual-looking antennas are actually standard for this type of a/c, and were they for some special capabilities that these a/c had?

And finally, does anyone remember the publication source for a color profile of this a/c or am I dreaming too vividly?

Regards,
