ID of Bf110C "White A" down during Western Campaign
Hello,
You all are getting awfully good at this; let's see if you can solve this mystery. Bf110C crash which took place almost certainly in France or Belgium during the Western Campaign of 1940. Both John Vasco and Peter Cornwell are stumped, as am I. Evgeny has speculated that this might be a ZG 2 a/c. This is probably not I./ZG1, because of the style of the spinner tip coloring. Anyone got a good candidate or ID for this one? Other views show that this wasn't far from a road. Could be a StKap a/c. Any information? http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...#ht_500wt_1053 Regards, |

Re: ID of Bf110C "White A" down during Western Campaign
Hello Larry,
As you are commenting on the spinner colours which can not be seen from the eBay photo you've linked to, I assume you have other images? You also mentioned other images in connection with the wreck being close to a road. Another image appeared on eBay in August which had a backside handwriting mentioning it being a "German aircraft shot down. Sancourt 7.6.1940" The wear on the ground next to the wreck indicates it came down previous to that date. Spinners are dark with white tips. Br Goran |

Larry - one apon a time, I sent You a couple of captions from german chronicles film, showing a take-off of several Bf110's from I./ZG2.
There are Bf110C 3M+AH, with 1(? dont remember exactly) victory bar on fin. Camou is simular as on the photo. Could it be the same a/c?

Goran,
Can you tell me the auction date or auction number for the photo which appeared in August with the "German aircraft shot down. Sancourt 7.6.1940?" Hopefully, I will be able to look it up in my records. Yes, I do have three other views of this a/c sold on eBay in 2008 and 2009, but don't recollect seeing one in August of this year. More info here please? We may finally be on the track of this one. Regards, |
