Re: Need code and photo of unit emblem used on Hs126Bs of 2.(H)/23 during the WC of 1940

Hi, Larry...

Some of the images I have of 2(H)./Aufkl.Gr.23 aircraft have already been seen on the LEMB thread you refer to, but I have attached below others which may be of help to you, or not, as the case may be!

Sadly, only one appears to have the unit insignia appended although a few have their forward fuselage in shadow so it's difficult to determine. Judging from the style of markings on some, they may be from the earliest period of the war, but I hope in some way they may be helpful.

From (L) to (R) - 1) Unsure of location or timeline. 2) Caption with image states 'Flugplatz Heiligenbeil'. 3, 4 & 5) a set of three showing the same aircraft - note early style dimensions and position of markings. 6) interesting if only because of its light-coloured codes.

All are from expired ebay auctions dated 9.2.2011, 29.12.2011, 18.5.2012 & 23.1.2014.

Kindest regards,

Paul
