Re: Story behind photo of B3+LM
Hello,
After further research regarding the aircraft in this post, I note that there was a series of posts on TOCH on 30.6.01 and 1.7.01, from Lars Larsson, C-J Ehrengardt and Lars Sundin that related to these aircraft. The Larsson post indicates that B3+JM was returned to Germany on 8.6.40, indicating that it came down intact, and that B3+CM was burned by its crew and the remains were scrapped. Lars Sundin on 1.7.01 indicated that B3+FN force-landed near the Swedish town of Marstrand, about 20 kms NW of Gothenburg, after being shot at by Swedish flak, and possibly being strafed and or shot at in the air by a Swedish S-5 (a Swedish built He5 floatplane). The story of this incident is recorded in CJE's Volume 1 of Aéro-Journal magazine.
This might simplify things for anyone trying to answer my post.
Thanx,
