Do 217 E-5

I have a photo showing an E-5 with the bulge on the starboard of the nose for Kehl operations and the Wk Nr last two XX63. Can anyone suggest the full Wk Nr and/or fate?

Hi Chris
I would suggest that this is most likely to W/Nr 5663 - KE+GG. I have no Unit details fate for this.

Regards - Tom

Thanks Tom. I guessed it could have been 5663 but needed confirmation

Re: Do 217 E-5

Makes sense. E-5 models have Wk Nr with 55xx or 56xx.

For the record, a Do 217E-4 with Wk Nr 4363 (6N+CU) served with Stab 100 but I assume this cannot be the aircraft in question since it would not have fielded the Kehl transmitter.

Hi Remi
Sorry I do not. There is a gap in my Stkz data from W/Nr 5645 to 5656 - Can anybody help here?
You probably have W/Nr 5646 with Stab.II/KG 100 as being 100% lost on 16.02.44 at Cambela, Italy. Cause of crash unknown.
Regards - Tom
