Re: External bomb carriers on D0 17

Hi, Mikael...

A few more for your collection listed below... all from old e-bay auctions.

KG77 (taking off); possibly Fernaufkl.Gr.Nacht, Fernaufkl.Gr.123 and one unknown (both of the last two only with the bomb racks showing), all at different times of the war and not solely bomber units either.

Also, an excellent picture on P.27 of Manfred Griehl's Do17E-Z & Do215B (Airdoc) showing 4U+BK 'bombed-up' and ready to go. This publication states bomb type as SC50. Your photo is interesting, as this is the first time I've seen the bombs side-mounted. May I enquire as to whether or not you have any indication as to what unit the photo relates to?

Regards,

Paul
