Re: Photos + 1-12
Hello Ken,
Is this Me109 Yellow "11" Wn 1251 the one that I think it is down in France VERY Early in the War ?
First pic and then the Second pic shows the right way round .
If so what is the white(?) bar on the rudder ??
I do not remember seeing it in other pics of Lt. Heinz Schultz's "11" after capture.
It seems the rudder was removed at some later date only to be replaced by a mock one.
I now question the history of this "11". If it does show Lt. Heinz Schultz's Yellow "11" then the other photos that show Yellow "11" in a crashed state well smashed must show it after capture and perhaps after being flown by the French as later pictures show Yellow "11" being off loaded from a trailer and at that stage it seems to have a replacement (False ?) rudder.
It was brought to the UK and became I believe AE479, but that was "White "1" W/n 1304 of Fw Karl Hier ?
Alex
