Re: Loss of a Fokker T.8 W (W.Nr. 5646) 16.09.41 Insel Milos
The Luftwaffe took over the following Fokker T.VIIIW-G-2 mixed construction aircraft:
C/n 5644 - 5656 (ex. Dutch Ser.Nos. R-12 to R-24). Most of these went to 1./Aufkl.Fl.Gr. 126 in Greece. C/n 5647, 5648 and 5651 were written off for use as spares on 17.02.42 while in Greece. C/n 5649, 5652 and 5653 were written off and to be broken up in Athen-Phaleron in August 1942. I have the following Stammkennzeichen identified: 5647 TD+CB, 5648 TD+CC, 5649 TD+CD, 5650 TD+CE, 5652 TD+CG and 5653 TD+CH.
Three aircraft were never sent to Greece but stored at the Luftzeugamt in Travemünde until written off on 18.02.43.
Fokker T.VIIIW-M alll metal aircraft taken over by Luftwaffe:
C/n 5657 - 5668 (ex. dutch Ser.Nos. R-25 to R-36). C/n 5657 was taken by a Dutch crew and flown from Amsterdam to Broadstairs in UK on 05.05.41. The remainder seems all to be transferred to Greece for service with 1./126. The following were written off and to be broken up in Athen-Phaleron in August 1942: 5658, 5660, 5662, 5663, 5664, 5665, 5667 and 5668. C/n 5666 was lost on 30.05.42 while on a test flight. I have no Stammkennzeichen tie-ups for this batch.
Finally Luftwaffe also took over two Fokker T.VIIIC intended for export to Finland. C/n 5636 (reserved Finnish Ser.No. FW160) St.Kz. KD+GG. This aircraft was badly damaged during a storm in Amsterdam in November 1940. It was dismantled and stored until written off on 18.02.43. C/n 5637 (reserved Finnish Ser.No. FW161) St.Kz. KD+GH was stored until written off on 18.02.43.
