Contemporary photo of "Black 12" of 2./JG51, Lt. Wolfgang Teumer that landed at Manston on 27.11.40
Hello,
a) I've always thought it strange that no contemporary photo has ever come to light of one of the most famous survivors of the Battle of Britain. This is the Bf109E of Lt. Wolfgang Teumer of 2./JG51 that force-landed at Manston on November 27th, and is now on display at the RAF Museum at Hendon. Has no photo of this aircraft in its original German markings ever come to light? I don't know of any photos that exist of it after it fell into British hands, but before it was repainted from its original German markings. I'm not talking about the modern approximation of those markings on the display aircraft, which aren't entirely accurate. Has anyone ever seen a photo of it in its original German markings before it underwent repainting after its capture at Manston? Surely photos must have been taken of it.
b) I'm interested in locating a copy of the flugbuch of Heinz Lohman of JG51 who flew this aircraft during Sept., 1940. Can anyone help with that?
Thanks,
