German high wing a/c

Hi guys

Apart from the He 46 and Hs 126 was there any other aircraft Type with a high over wing (so called parasol wing).

I have a foto of a crashed example which does not look like a Hs 126 or a He 46. My scanner does not work so cannot send an image

It might be a beute/foreign type but not sure which this is!

can anybody point me in the right direction.

Thanks in advance

Regards

Tom Willis

Tom,
this could be a captured Morane MS 230. That plane was used in flying schools and as a tug plane.
Pictures can be seen at:

Hi Robert

Thanks for the tip but it is not the MS 230. It is a larger a/c, the fuselage and wings are much bigger.

Did the Czechs have a High wing a/c which could have been used by the Lw?

Cheers

Tom Willis

Hello,
It could be a He 45, a Fw 56, or an Ar 76 ?

Re: German high wing a/c

Yes, indeed, a detailed description or a scan of the photo would help. There was a number of Polish aircraft in this configuration, most popular being RWD-8 and RWD-14.
