http://cgi.ebay.de/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?...tem=6213855063 and a number of others record aircraft of FFS A/B 23.
I seem to remember a similar series being offered a few months ago.

Hi,

I think the car is Alfa-Romeo from 1935.

Sincerely, Balazs Garai

Can anyone read the last letter of the Stammkennzeichen of the second Ar 96 in echelon? I believe the first three letters are P I + Q.

Rabe,

My first reaction is PI+QL

Although the second plane in http://cgi.ebay.de/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?...tem=6213855414 looks like PI+QR

I was correct there were three photos on or about the 12/09/05 which look like they are from the same or a similar series - possibly from the same collection. In all three shots an Ar 96 with code PH+PX is visible, and in one an Ar 96 can be seen with a code beginning VL+??.

Rabe,

Found a further one from early August this year that has a clear Ar 96 of FFS A/B 23 with code PI+QO.

Gruß Gott Andy!

Thanks for your reaction to my post about the Ar 96 SKZ. Interesting that your first reaction was exactly the same as mine: Hummmmm, well, looks like P I + Q L, doesn't it? Then, looking at the other photograph, the "L" shifted to look like a letter with horizontal elements at top and maybe bottom, perhaps an "E," "P," or as you've said, an "R.." I believe the two photos in Ed's post of 01.10.05 are the same airplane, same time, same formation . . . but what's that final letter?!

Thanks again! Please let me know if you've further thoughts.

Zoomed in in photoshop, and adjusted the contrast, you can definitely make out the white outline around the letter R,

Chris
