Re: Si 204 DL+NT

Thanks Nick.

However, it does not mean the Grand Mufti was not aboard.

For the record, I obtained a copy of this image from Paul J. Vercammen, editor of Air Combat, a long long time ago. The original caption stated that this aircraft was "sold" to the Grand Mufti (more likely made at its disposal) and that he used it to flee to Switzerland after having the German markings removed.

After all, Lake Constance is not so far from Belp. He may have been expelled to Germany after having landed in Switzerland as "personna non grata" (sure he was!).
