Hi,
I have this WNr. as a A-1 that crashed on 22 Dec 1940 near Vlissingen Holland being damage 80% and belonging to 1o./NJG 1. But this Werknummer is not confirmed. Regards, Norbert Last edited by Norbert Schuchbauer; 6th March 2011 at 22:46. Reason: Unit correction |

Oh! Sorry. I think it´s the fuel tank W.Nr. not the airplane!

Re: Need help with Bücker Bu 131 W.Nr.
According to our info the w.nr is 7173.
The plane crashed due to engine failure in the Westerschelde near Vlissingen and the crew was ok. Leo |

If you are talking about the same crash on 22.12.1940 which Matti and Norbert are talking about, WNr 7173 looks far too high to be plausible. Cheers Stig |

Re: Need help with Bücker Bu 131 W.Nr.
Hi
There were no W/Nrs for Bu 131s begining with the 71.. series Export Bu 131s used some in the 8.. and nearl all of the 9.. series But in the early production runs any W/Nrs were used for exports. I cannot check my data at present because of computer problems but when I am up and ready will check these out Regards Tom Willis |

Re: Need help with Bücker Bu 131 W.Nr.
Hi
Sorry forgot to add. If the Bu 131 was built in 1938 then this puts 173 out as this was built before 1938. There were Bu 131s in the 177. series and the W/Nr could be the 1773 put forward. Hope this helps Tom Willis |
