Hs 126 with bomb rack

[Steffen Arndt]

Hello all

Thank you for pointing to that picture. Indeed it looks quite similar to "my" Hs 126. I've been in contact with Christian Möller on this pic for a while and it is a pity I cannot find the 2 other pics belonging to that series of photographs @ ebay (haven't saved them in time).

Some comments/questions:

Christian wrote me a friend of him who collects Stkz said the possible Stkz. GE + GF or GE + GP would belong to Fw 189 ?

As I wrote, I cannot find the other pics. There was one which clearly shows 4 bombs! If you look at this photo

http://cgi.ebay.de/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?...tem=6146845193

You'll find 4 brackets on 2 mounts for bombs per side. The "Rost" for SD2 looks a little different ... maybe this is some kind of multipurpose rack which could be used for the SD2 too?

best regards
