Re: Did the HS 129 B-2 operate in Tunisia 1942/43?
After looking at the various books by Pegg and Bernad and other information, a "B-2" with a 30 mm MK 101 cannon was operated by 4.(PZ)/Sch.G.2 at El Adem. This aircraft had Wk. Nr. 0296, which originally was contracted as a B-1 (trop), but which was upgraded to B-2 standards.
The aircraft is Blue A, and was destroyed by the Germans after a crash landing.
The aircraft is often profiled as having the circular iuntakes of the B-1. But if upgraded to B-2 standars, it would have had the rectangular and angled under-cowl intakes.
