Hi Byron

Do we know that the wing belongs to the tail unit?

Cheers
Brian

It certainly is, Byron. Now from which KGrzbV, that's the next challenge

Hi Marc,

this is a very interesting pic, it would be a pity if we couldn't find out at least the unit or the exact date of the loss. This would lead us to more details.

Re: Wreck in Alikianos of Crete

Τhis Nr. 9 on the tail is doubtless fake, any objections?

I object Byron. To me it seems genuine.

Cheers

Re: Wreck in Alikianos of Crete

isn`t it to bright Marc? and what does it means? Staffel 9?
Take a look on the second picture of the same wreck, there is nothing to see

Re: Wreck in Alikianos of Crete

Unsure about the brightness. As for the "9" missing on the second picture, the angle of the pic makes the fin mask that segment of the rudder. I still believe this "9" is genuine.

Cheers
Marc
