Re: Identity of shot down and belly-landed Polish Merlin-equipped Wellington?
Hello Artur,

Thanks for your interesting posting. I've compared the photos in your posting with the one that I recently acquired, but these are not of the same a/c. Whereas W5567 belly-landed with both props turning (both being bent backwards in the landing), the Wellington that I have a photo of bellied in with its left-hand engine stopped; this prop is completely unscathed as clearly visible in the complete photo..

By the way; I will publish the complete photo in the concluding volume in the Nachtjagd Combat Archive series that will give short bio's of all Nachtjäger with one or more victories in WWII.

Cheers, Theo
