Re: W34 with strange equipment down during the Polish campaing

Laurent

This aircraft was already in LW use at one of the Fliegerschule. Early in 1939 all such a/c had the D- removed and WL added. From late 1939 it would have been given an stkz but this was not quoted in the Letov doc. As it was returned to service in 3/40 it may have rec'd its stkz then

In the UK all private a/c were inspected and if warranted to be useful they were "impressed" and given military serials. Anything not required was banned from flying and stored. Air-Britain Historians produced a document "Impressment Log" and full details of inspection dates and a/c fates are listed.
