Re: B 71 markings?
...on delving a bit further, it now appears that the old Beutefluge listing could have been wrong. Acording to an extensive WNr & Sktz listing in Luftwaffe Verband magazine (Issue 24, Oct 2000) page 7:

B.71A - WNr.165 - SE+DY - Avia, first flown 09-05-40
B.71A - WNr.166 - SE+DZ - Avia, first flown 21-06-40, then Erpr.Stelle
B.71A - WNr.167 - SE+EA - Avia, first flown 17-04-40

No doubt Tom Willis (Sktz guru) will correct or confirm this data...

Kind regards,
