Hi all,
this machine was coded 6-15 and force-landed intact on 11. November 1937.

What puzzles me, is the position of the oil cooler in photo #18: It seems to be in a different position compared with other machines with a Jumo-engine. In this picture the position seems to be much closer to the wing root than in the “normal” position (the oil cooler normally lies closely behind the wheel well, thus beeing much further outboard)



IIRC this repositioning was mentioned in one of the polish “monografie”(?) magazines by R. Michulec (sorry if spelled wrongly!). It was stated, that the position was changed after the first few machines. Neither the book by Radinger/Schick (versions A-E) nor one of the works from Mr. Prien seems to mention this.

Could it be that this repositioning was a difference between the version “A” and “B”?

Has anybody further information (explanation and/or documentation) concerning this repositioning?

Thanks in advance

Ralph
