Re: 1/606 Do 17 crashed on a beach
Chris,
When I ran this against the EoE photo DB, I found two possible FL a/c from this unit. One is clearly 7T+HH, which had extensive areas of black over the prominent markings. This a/c probably landed intact during the fall of 1940 or winter of 1940-41. It carried the unit insignia at least on the port nose, and white prop spinner tips. Based upon your 07.04.14 TOCH post about this I have it as W.Nr.2797 down on 11.10.40. It apparently was re-gassed or repaired and later flew back to base. I have a photo of it apparently successfully taking off from the beach. I have 6-7 photos of this a/c. in the DB. There is a possibility that I'm confusing photos of two different a/c here. One +HH has bullet damage from the rear and obviously hit something in the air, damaging the port stabilizer. Looks like it might have hit a balloon cable. Are there two different a/c here?
