The question mark was that the Finnish records recorded the flight as TH+CX and not by W.Nr.

A month later W.Nr2023 was recorded in the loss reports as Black 9 with 8./JG5. (but not the Stkz).

To me a very good tie in.

Bf109E 3523 was recorded in the Finnish logs by W.Nr indicating it was not carrying Stkz. It replaced a Rot 6 of 5./JG5 lost a couple of days before. It was lost a month later as well. We also had a log book entry.

PM me your email and I'll send you the text). The owners want the Battle of Britian history on 3523 so hopefully another photo will come up in the next ten yers :-)

There are documents relating to repiars so would be interesting if a 25% damage listing would take 3 weeks to repair - doubt it.

regards

Mark
