Re: eBAy: Captured german planes

Rudi

With regard to the so called captured Go 242, it seems only two recorded aircraft (one to Britain and the other to USA) are known. Details of their origin is scanty to say the least, but both seems to have been captured before the end of the war. However there is another photo of the same Go 242 (no other aircraft visible around), but having the same flat landscape around it. One individual visible who may well be Allied can also be seen.

With regard to your "Siebels" they are most likely French post war production, and that goes for all "German" aircraft in the post war French photo albums now being sold on e-bay.

Cheers
Stig
