Re: HE177 "Stolen" by the British
Blagnac being the place I am born and have lived until the age of 21, I have searched a bit the local WWII history and never have heard of any operation.
On the other hand, many German aircraft at various states of repair were left when the German retired in August 1944 in Toulouse and others SW France bases. The local units of the Armée de l'Air used until the end of the war D 520, Ju 88, Fi 156 and one Bf 110 seized here. I don't remember anything about He 177.
