Re: Some Bf 109s on eBay - 22/01/12.

This plane, 8./JG 27 is pictured in JFV Teil 4.1 page 425.
Mr. Prien is saying that "perhaps" it could be WNr.2794, an E-4, which suffered an engine trouble near Cap Gris Nez; damage 20%.

Doesn't seem an E-4, but better an E-1(/B) or E-8. It appears that there is another recorded loss for III./JG 27 on 30/8/1940 involving an E-1 WNr.6330, damage 30% at Dieppe.
Since 6330 is inside the 6319/6401 range for E-1/B E-8 and since the damage is quite the same...

... Why not Dieppe dyke?

Regards, Franck.
