Luc,

Hello. Here is the EoE Loss list holdings on Schnabel's original crash:

"5 September 1940: 1./JG3 Messerschmitt Bf109E-4 (1985). Engine damaged in combat with fighters during escort sortie for Do17s to Croydon and belly-landed on Handen Farm, Chapfall, near Aldington, 10.10 a.m. Possibly one of those attacked by F/L J.T. Webster of No.41 Squadron. FF Lt Heinz Schnabel captured slightly wounded. Aircraft White 6 + 100% write-off."

We have several photos of this incident in our EoE Photo DB and this a/c will be one of our color profile a/c for the EoE Project. The later incident falls outside the purview of the EoE Project, so I have no info to help you with that.

Regards,


Larry Hickey
