ww2 SAAF fighter pilot Hannes Faure

[Adriano Baumgartner]

Tinus, some questions about the lovely pictures:
1-Can you (or any other member) identify the Squadron and codes of the Blenheim IV crash?
2- The Bf 109 F or early G-2 shown with codes AX*? do have a werknummer visible? Is it possible to identify its origin?
3- I saw what seems a Fairey Albacore wreck with the wreck of Faure's Hurricane. Can we identify this wreck/or Squadron?

Yours

Thank you:

The Albacore crashed into Peter Metelerkamp's Hurricane. Peter was Faure's OC at 1 sqdn. See here Peter Metelerkamp's web site, here you can ID the date and location of the crash looking at Peter's log book and thus try to ID the Albacore unit and ser no:
