Re: Junker 188 crash

Thanks Nick (for corrcetion, must look for/get your book).

Hello Claudio. Seems if your statement of your witness is correct (re all killed) then possibly either date can be wrong or number not correct (or even code in Nick & co. book be incorrect / or another plane where all were killed). From what we all know on this forum the Unit codes (here F6+LP) were (often) carried by more than one plane but at different dates (yet I have one recorded instance of two aircraft flying with same code, same day - but yet again can be typing error). Seems to me you must also try find also the W.Nr. to be certain of date and crew. These were usually stamped on small plates in several places on fuselage and painted on the tail (and often on parts that were detachiable, for handy referance when putting them back on the plane.) My point here is that real proof of this as the same plane is yet unconfirmed.
