Re: Location of Re 2002 "DV+JC" ?

Hi All

The numbers 1281, 1282 and 1283 listed above are not MM numbers.

201 Re 2002 were ordered
prototype MM458
1st production MM7309 - MM7408
2nd production MM8644 - MM8743

While under production only MM8644-MM8668, MM8670-MM8704, MM8706-MM8707, MM8718-MM8719 are known to have been delivered to Italy, while the other 35 under production and supposedly delivered to Luftwaffe received these odd numbers, possibly Reggiane c/ns. I have not really tried to check if it fits at all. They are all listed in German loss records as WNr (I think??)

Known numbers are
1110, 1117, 1119, 1120, 1150, 1156, 1176, 1178, 1183, 1209, 1213, 1220, 1222, 1223, 1225, 1230, 1231, 1238, 1248, 1240, 1249, 1250, 1251, 1252, 1254, 1255, 1256, 1260, 1262, 1264, 1265, 1267, 1274, 1281, 1282, 1283, 1284, 1285, 1293
making 39 in all but having a span of 184 numbers. As far as I know there is no complete c/n list regarding Reggiane production.

I have two photos where the number can be read
1) (white 7). and at least to me, it says WkN 1119 and
2) very clearly, WKN 1222.
I expect that "MM1281 - 1283" also carried the words WkN or WKN in front of their digits and not MM.

Cheers
Stig
