Crash of Ju 52 off Norway on April 16-17, 1940

[RT]

Sure Laurent wouldn't expect so much, BA+KI is 6731 or 6739 , BA+KY an Ju87 BA+KZ an Do17

so...

Hi to all,

Yes I did not except so much

Anyway I have in my files two Ju 52 of KG zbV 1 lost on 16 April 1940, the one of 14 Staffel on the cliff of which I knew only the crew list, thank for the passenger one, and another with no Staffel known and no crew known, just listed as being lost S of Stavanger with 4 dead/missing.

So either this is the same loss recorded twice, or there is another Ju 52 in the loss lists. But I think the former explanation is probably the right one.

On a related question, Seaplanes, can you check the diary of KGzbV 105 for 12 April 1940. I have an accident on take off from Fühlsbüttel airfield for a Ju 52 of this unit (D-AVMF, WNr. 000? ?10), but don't know the extent of damage.

Thanks in advance

D-AVMF was Ju 90 "Brandenburg" of DLH c/n 90-0010, it crashed due to icing at Brauna 8/11/40. It was noted with DLH 4/40
