eBAy: Captured german planes

[edwest2]

Why would such an aircraft be sold to a private individual and why would it be scrapped at his farm? Something does not sound right. I doubt they were selling it for 100 dollars Canadian.

Hi Ed

I can't attach the file, as it's a pdf and an error mentioned it's too big for the forum, of an article titled "Logans Air Force" in Aeroplane Monthly December 1996. It doesn't mention what he paid for the 262, but does say what other planes sold for.

If anyone would like I can send it via PM.

Regards

Vince...

Thanks, Snauzer. I would normally have included it with my weekly ebay list, but I'm thinking of abandoning that due to technical difficulties between my PC and this website.
Meanwhile, here's one especially for Marc-Andre (if it works);

Yup, it works, sir bob and thanks !

One of the best shots of late production Mtt made Bf 109 K-4. The W.Nr. can be possibly 334 148 or 335 148. This machine features the typical Flossenbürg camouflage pattern with the "Bodenwöhr" final assembly touch: a snake like streak of RLM 76 on the lower fuselage which by that time was left unpainted.

Cheers
Marc
