Re: He 111 Wk Nr 2149

David, just out of curiosity, do you have the fate of W.Nr 2145 that Chris mentions? I have W.Nr 2146 , 2150.

And Chris, did W.Nr 2145 serve with 3/KG55 with sister a/c 2149? any dates or squadron codes, aircrew attributed?

Best Regs,
Steve.

Re: He 111 Wk Nr 2149

Steve: I cannot confirm one way or another as you cannot see the codes. All I have are 2 photos from a 3/KG 55 crewman showing the Wk Nrs and the silhouette of a chap in a top hat and carrying an umbrella on the rudder (slightly different on both)

Hi Chris,
Thanks for that, so W.Nr 2145 may have been attached to 3/KG55 at some time early 1940.
Id be interested to learn its fate?

Best Regs,
Steve.
