Re: Three FW200 Condor take-off times, 1940 and 1941

Hallo Chris and Nick,

Thanks for that useful information. In the last few days I have been looking again at my notes taken from the Irish Defence Forces reports on this crash. I found something that might be of interest to Condor buffs. A diary belonging to the meteorologist on board, Reg. Rat. Dr. Erhard Herrstrom was recovered. It contained details of 3 flights he took part in;

29-12-1940 Start 540 (sic) Bordeaux, Land 1700, reporting on weather.
3-1-1941 Start 0612 Bordeaux, Land 1737, reporting on weather.
15-1-1941 Start 0617 Bordeaux, Land 1848, reporting on weather.

Hope this is of interest,

Martin.
