Re: Crash of a Bf 109E-3 on 28 November 1940 in Austria
Thanks Matti,
This is our man. W.Nr.2372 fits into the Regensburg block of aircraft from which both Yugoslav and Swiss Bf 109E-3a were delivered. Beside that, at one moment, when the plane was supposed to be delivered to Yugoslavia, it carried civil registration D-IWKX.
Martin, this was one of 27 aircraft taken from Yugoslav batch and sent to Luftwaffe after May 1940. The aircraft delivered to Yugoslavia carried temporary civil registrations. This plane apparently had the Balkenkreuze on fuselage and wings, oversprayed across Yugoslav markings. What was an aircraft from Merseburg doing so far south, we will probably never learn.
Cheers,
Boris
