Re: Unidentified RAF airplane in Greece 1941
Hello,
have a look at this:ΤTα αεροπλάνα που ήταν στο Αεροδρόμιο Λεχαίου, και έπρεπε να καταστραφούν, ήταν επτά "Μπρεγκέ-19" και δύο "Αβρό-621" τα οποία θεωρήθηκαν ως άχρηστο υλικό.
It could be possible that somehow the airfield staff was able to repair the aircraft and tried to flee to Crete.Its not the first time greek mechanics prooved to make "miracles". But probably it suffered technical problems and landed at Molaoi. And there was an order to light up the fuel not to be captured by the germans.Maybe thats why they refueled the aircraft.It will be hard to find some reference to this event.Only there could be a reference for a lone Avro 621 arriving at Crete.
regards
