Bf 109 E WNr. 1187

[Falcon]

Hello,

I got a photo with the WNr. 1187 from the owner:
http://www.me109.info/display.php?a=e&fid=7627

I have also a profile from Kjetil Akra on my website:
http://www.me109.info/display.php?a=e&fid=3844

It got the same number of victory markings on the rudder.

Are there other photos of that plane known? Got someone additional informations about the WNr. 1187?

I have found a notice on this website:
http://www.jg52.net/kriegstagebuch/1941
"Sonntag, 30. März 1941 Am Fpl. Vlissingen kommt es zu einem Startunfall der Bf 109 E-3 Werknr. 1187 vom Gruppenstab. Der Flugzeug*führer bleibt unverletzt, der Schaden wird mit 50% angegeben."

Thanks for your help.

David

Btw... you got your own Wikipedia page, Kjetil? Happy birthday... ;-)

Nice hint, thanks Mark! Interesting that the article think that the plane in the background is the "red 6". On my picture we can see now a number like a "red 7".

Thanks also for your link, Andreas.
