Very interesting. Are there more? I agree that it is a He 51 Land (He 51C) built by Arado Brandenburg in 1936.

Post No.5 and No.10 refer. If I am not mistaken, apart from the following aircraft from 1./StG 165: "white 1" a red devils head; "white 5" a winged dragon or similar; "white 10" a horse head (not a sea horse), we now also have "white 8".

Cannot make the emblem's motif though. Any thoughts?

Hi - As the time is nearing 12 months since this the last discussion on the He 51 I would like to re-start this in the hope that something new can emerge.
Tony Jones gave the Erla Production as 25 to 133 but Erla Production was in 2 sections - 62 to 133 and 242 to 249 - Total 80.
Ago built the 1st W/Nrs from 25 to 61. Then 2134 to 2160 and 2192 to 2204 - Total 77.
Fieseler built 102 from 801 to 902 and Arado a total of 71 from 1437 to 1461 - 1542 to 1570 and 1767 to 1783.
Are there anymore documents giving more W/Nrs and the repair details of more He 51s? Are there more for other Types?

Regards Tom
