Re: eBay: Allied intrest
Hi all,
photo of "wellington " from 2.7.1940: https://www.ebay.de/itm/2x-Foto-abge...kAAOSwzoJanZ-S ....but geodetic structure is not visible, same turret is on the Whitley and 1 was lost on night 01-02 of July 1940 - serial number N1461 GE-M from 58. squadron. As I know, this machine crashed in the target area - Kiel dockyard. My question is, if the Kothausen is a part of Kiel. Thanks Faenor |

Re: eBay: Allied intrest
Interesting view of a PR Spitfire, is this another of K9791 or another a/c ?
