Bristol Beaufighter T3229
Hi everyone
A small mystery concerns the capture of Beaufighter T3229 on May 1st 1941 in Casablanca.
What happened to it?
French sources says it was requisitioned by the Germans and handed over by them (date unknown, but likely that autumn - September being quoted)
I have never seen/read anything regarding a Beaufighter in German markings or even being tested by them. Does anyone have a clue what happened to T3229?
Did the French actually hand it over??
There is another rumour that the Germans in their turn handed it over to Croatia. However I have already talked to Aleksandar and he in turn has heard the rumour, but found nothing to substantiate it. So from his and most likely other Serbian/Croatian historians we can burry such theories.
Cheers
Stig
