Re: eBay: German intrest
Hi
Can someone help me with the following Do 17 photo. https://www.ebay.de/itm/384163654911....c101110.m1982 Within the Balkenkreutz one can see three digits '852' (poss 832 but I don't think so) I can only presume this is the WNr and thus a Do 17 E Can someone confirm that please, and also advise if it was a common or rare way of painting the WNr? Can't really recall I have seen it before.... Cheers Stig

Re: eBay: German intrest
Hi Stig
I have personally only seen this type of marking once before. I have images of Do 17 F-1 No.972, which I think is from 3./122 (stamps in the Bordfunker's Sports Book for August 1937 are for this Staffel). It crashed on 13 August 1937 due to an engine fire. This aircraft appears to carry no individual identification markings apart than a '972' across the Balkenkreuz. In the Bordfunker's Flugbuch he also refers to the aircraft as '972' and in the captions on the photos he has also written '972'. The aircraft is pretty messed up and other markings may be there but just not visible, but I don't think so.

Re: eBay: German intrest
Thanks Tim
So one more! Very interesting. Really nice of you to send photo evidence as well! Still rare, but perhaps not as rare as I initially thought?  Anyone else? Cheers Stig

Re: eBay: German intrest
Hi Stig
There are several other entries for Do 17s in the same Flugbuch, showing a selection of number references so it looks like it was the practice for Do 17s at the time in this unit.
