and another one, what a coincidence

[Stig Jarlevik]

Parabellum

First shot is probably a scrap heap somewhere in Norway and the airplane in the background must be a Fokker C.V. Is the Bf 109E from II./JG 77?

The second one show a Caproni 310, one of four, bought by Norway in 1938. Serialled 501,503,505 and 507 it has to be one of them....

Cheers

You know, Ed W and Ruy have furnished us a great place to view these photos, regardless of the "auction moral" issues, so be happy.

What amazes me is the continual gross ignorance of most of the sellers. The Marseille rudder is just one example. Another is

It is not Graf, of course, but a well-known (and copied) photo of Werner Molders. Too bad none of the knowledgable people on this board ever run across nice photo caches and properly ID them!!

Tks for answer Stig!
So, twas a Caproni 310... I did'nt know that Norway had purchased such type of airplane. And Fokker built for the first one... interesting!
The Me109 is from JG77 and we can discern the black "death riding a scythe with an umbrella" 4th staffel's insignia under the cockpit.

We did indeed buy a few of these Capronis. They were called "Klippfiskbombere" - or a loose translation "Bacalao-bombers" because they were purchased partly with shipments of dried cod. They were not operational as the Germans attacked.
Of note is that it appears the Caproni was pictured at some airshow looking at the planes in the background while something with the picture of the wrecked planes says "Sola/Stavanger" though it is just a hunch and could very well be wrong.

Kyrre and especially Italian readers

Sorry for straying, but being very much in favour of the Italian Cuisine, may I ask what Italy did with all the dried fish? The dish made out of that (at least in Sweden) has been tried on friends from abroad, and their general feeling of disgust was quite passionate

Not 100% sure how our Norwegian brothers cook their dried fish, but I have never come across any Italian dishes made out of dried Cod!!!

Any takers?? I am really curious

Cheers
Stig (Great lover of the Swedish dish made from dried fish!!!!!!)

Would that be "Lutefisk" or "Lye-fish" literally translated?

Well I'm not sure about the italians but a typical "mediterranean" dish would be the Bacalao. Portuguese/Spanish I believe? I know that as a woman you ain't ready to marry until you know at least 365 ways to prepare your dried cod if you're from countries like Portugal and Brasil.

Not that I'm particularly fond of dried fish. Used to feed it to the dog.

Stig,
My mother used to cook dried salted cod (Baccalà or simply "merluzzo sotto sale") "stewed" (is it correct?) with tomato sauce and sometime with olives and capers.
Quite good, even though it wasn't my favourite dish....

ciao
