Re: 4 Bü 131 claimed on 2 May 1945 by 130 Squadron

Guys

With regard to the option Bu 131 or Bu 181 I think the aspect in itself is wrong. What the pilot actually identifies initially is that this is a biplane. His next thought regarding type is what comes into his mind. As far as I am concerned the important thing is that what he/they see in this case are biplanes. I don't think anyone (us included) would have had the time to contemplate it this was Bu 131, Ar 66 or Go 145 or possibly something else. The pilot(s) choses what he thinks is relevant and a type he would be familliar with and also a type that is "on his lips" for better of for worth.
Once your mind is set, nothing will change that....

Cheers
Stig
