eBAy: Captured german planes

[Stig Jarlevik]

To be honest Nick, I can only see one 1H prefixed aircraft, the one on the right.
The other two seems to carry 1T.

The real puzzle, since this is appx 1945, is why the unit designators are with such big digits and letters.

Cheers

1T+, is a code of the beg. of the war...

Blow the picture up to 200% and I believe I can see the horizontal bar of the H on the lefthand Heinkel.

The white bands, the unit code styles and the Heinkels with KG 26 all point to much earlier in the war than 1945

Still cannot see 1H on the left hand Heinkel Nick
I can see your point, but the right hand vertical bar in the H is then far too close to the cross, which is not the case with the right hand Heinkel where by the way the H is very clearly visible. As far as I am concerned we have two 1T and one 1H aircraft visible in the picture.

I agree it must be much earlier than 1945. Scrapyard in North Africa seems a possibillity.

Well spotted.

The best match for the Ju 88 on that list seems to be 1T+FT (no Werk Nummer).

The He 111s listed are: W.Nr. 110137, 1H+HP; W.Nr. 7112, 1H+FH; W.Nr. 7237, 1H+LK; and W.Nr. 8125, 1H+DP.

(7237 was first reported as 7257 but corrected later).
