Re: Photos Beuteflugzeuge
Well Clint
From experience I prefer to no longer quote "Gospels" but I think the well known photo you refer to was
taken in Austria prob during the winter 1935-36.
Reason for that is that there is another photo of the aircraft in Reisinger's 'Die verbotene Luftwaffe 1918-38'
This photo taken just before the delivery flight 20 July 1935 shows the aircraft only wearing OE-FKD, no tail strip,
no DNr 64.
He also states it was handed over to Aufklärungsstaffel 2 and that the final markings was painted on the aircraft
after delivery.
He also states it was taken over by the Luftwaffe in 1938.
There is also another not so well known photo of OE-FKD taken at Aspern in one of Fred Haubner's books.
So I am fairly confident it went to Austria and later to Luftwaffe.
If the latter actually had any interest in the aircraft, no idea.....
Cheers
Stig
PS: Forgot before to give Gerhard his due for getting us on the right track with the photo! Thanks!!
