Re: Data Plates Exposed #3: Hs 123
Hi Tom,
Thank you for your interest. Unfortunately, I have not learned any more related information since posting this article; I thought I'd get feedback, but yours has been the only reply. While I assumed that 2294 was the plate’s recovery date (2/2/94), the possibility of it being a WNr. appears more likely based on your information. Of no doubt is the location reference - the French town of Arras. I continue to think that the history behind this plate lies with losses thereabouts in June 1940.
I have no other Hs 123 plates. However, I have AGO plates marked to other types of aircraft. In time (work’s busy now) I’ll post additional plates in the series.
Best regards,
Steve
