Hi Gents,

All ready given by Ed West list that week.
Dr. Prien did start a thread on LEMB forum about whether it's an E-1 or an E-3 (Typo on LW lost list?), and gave us a place and time took from an old auction caption. Thank's for that Jochen.
Note that that very plane start to be very well depicted; I have 7 different photos of it (couting that last one).
Concerning that E-1/E-3 identification and the question raised by Jochen; My answer is YES.
- There is no MGFF in removable fairing (different pictures of same plane where fairing isn't removed)
- Top wing is stained by MG shots.
- This is not the only plane presenting such characteristics (with many pictures too).
- For some of other planes with same feature, WNr. is known.
- David Weiss aka "Falcon" did already raise this aspect in his site (underpicture comments) but less clearly than Dr. Prien does now... And if I remember well I had small mail discussions with David upon this type identification problem.
Whether is WNr.2666 or not ( hence a true typo from LW lost list) I'm not able to decide.
Dr. Prien suggestion (small Arado production) is quite interesting and give us another aspect to check out.
Regards, Franck.
