Re: What Airplane and UNIT??

Looks to be a French twin-engine something to me.

Hi Stephen,

based on info of a eye witness it must be a single engine.

Regards und thanks

I think there was a weird looking single engined French aircraft with twin tail and rear turret.... can't recall what it was though, perhaps that fits?

Hi, Rolfeb...

Notwithstanding what you say about the eye-witness recollection of it being a single-seater, and other contributors stating they think it's possibly a French aircraft, my first thought was that this was the vertical tailfin and rudder of a Heinkel He111, with the number '23' on the lower part of the right side of the rudder... admittedly, this is only a first impression.

Regards...

Paul
