A technical question : was the Do217M11 equipped with Henschel 293 or Fritz X ?

Hi everybody

The Do217M11 was a specific and rare aircraft: less than 40 built, extended wingspan, rather a good aircraft.

I read in the documentation that it was equipped with a Fritz PC1400X, hanging under the fuselage, but I was told as well that all aircraft of KG100 were re equipped beginning of 1944 with Henschel 293.

Where is the truth ?

In our case, we are working on Do217M11 Wnr 723052 of KG 100 which dropped its flying bombs on the allied boats in Normandy on 10 June 1944 and crashed on its way back to Toulouse Francazal, in the north of Cahors. We wonder what she was carrying.

Thanks for your tips.

GC
