Re: eBAy: Captured german planes

Thanks Marc.

One funny point, at least for me; in his description the seller writes "wrecks captured in the Western Desert of Libya in 1942..".
"Western Desert" does indicate a part of Egypt, not Libya, and, formally, it's the part of Egypt situated West of Nile (left on the map) as described in antic texts and by archeologists.... Indeed very Eastern part of Libya is situated in what we use to call "Western Desert" area.
What seller wrote is, thence, a non sense.

Regards,
Franck.
