Re: Hungarian trainer with Luftwaffe markings that fled to Switzerland in April 1945
Hi,
Saw the photo in aeroplane Monthly March 1997.Part of a three part series.
page 56. Caption says -
Crew were two Hungarian Flying Instructors.Aircraft had been applied with dark green paint over the Hungarian marking. Some instruments were missing. The a/c served on with a new engine and Swiss civil markings HB-TAC. She crashed in August 1952.
As seen in the photo, the Hungarian markings can just be seen through the freshly applied new paint.

Alex
