Info on He 111P, W.Nr. 3122, 3128 and 3129 sought.
As far as I know, only the first one, W.Nr. 3122 has a known Stkz. (GA+MT).

Thanks, in advance,

Dénes,

Checked the EoE photo DB and nothing on these three.

Thank you, Peter, for the information.
I was already aware that these aircraft were planned to be delivered to Hungary in April 1940, but only two reached eventually Hungary. But which ones?

According to Volker Koos WNr 3109 to 3128 were to be delivered to Hungary.
Only the last two WNr 3127-3128 were delivered as He 111 U (this was an internal Heinkel designation and not an official RLM one)
Also according to him there was no WNr 3129, 3128 was the last one in that batch.

Cheers
Stig

Thanks, Stig, for the info. I presume U was short of Ungarn. Was Herr Koos' quoted statement published somewhere?

I learned that W.Nr. 3127 was assigned to EHF in July 1940, with Stkz. GA+MY. Does EHF mean Ernst Heinkel Flugzeugwerke?

I could not find any info (nor any Stkz.) for 3128 and 3129, only temporary civilian ferry codes. That's why my suspicion that those might have been the two P-2s actually delivered to Hungary.

Hi Dénes

Yes, the info is from an article in Jet and Prop some years ago.
EHF was Ernst Heinkel Flugzeugwerke in Rostock-Marienehe. It was manufactured appx in June 1940.
I also checked my other sources regarding this batch and the STKZ assigned to 3109 to 3127 was GA+MG to GA+MY.

Seems pretty likely (but not confirmed!) that 3128 was given the STKZ GA+MZ.

What is your source that WNr 3129 was built?

Cheers
Stig

Regarding flight log Engelmann an He111H-5, W.Nr.3129, was flown in Rostock-Marienehe on 27.06.1940 (Kurssteuer - u. FT-Flug) and 11.09.1940 (Erprobung der Kraftstoffauspumpanlage).

[Stig Jarlevik]

That was a very interesting information Rasmussen

First of all that WNr is not mentioned by Volker Koos at all (as far as I can see) but also because you state it was a H-5.

However now it becomes a bit more complicated since I find it rather unlikely that Hungary should take delivery of one He 111 P-2(U) and one He 111 H-5.

So I am now more puzzled then ever from where WNr 3129 and transfer reg D-AXVK comes into the picture. Dénes??

Cheers
Stig

This info comes from a forum member, but needs confirming.
Apparently, this one did not end up in Hungary.
