Re: Unidentified "Allied" wrecks

Stig,

According to this link:

https://books.google.com/books?id=U7...20%20E&f=false

the Hellenic Royal Air Force (HRAF) did use "E" to denote trainers. The photo does show a Avro Tutor E.50. One difference seems to be the period after the E.

The wing and struts visible in the photo do seem to match up with a Avro Tutor.

Here is a model of a post Oct 1940 Greek Avro Tutor. Here the period after the E seems to have been dropped.


In the comments on this model is a statement that 6 Avro 621s and 626s escaped to Crete where three were destroyed the remaining 3 made it to Egypt.
