Re: eBAy: Captured german planes

Thanks Rudi. Not Ar 234 but Me 262 wing and engine assembly. Ju 87 and this assembly ate known, but I don’t have access to my files right now to determine the location. I am sure others will be able to identify the airfield.

Re: eBAy: Captured german planes

Thanks Roger. The shape of the wing made me think it was an Ar 234.

Regards,
Rudi

Re: eBAy: Captured german planes

#989 Thanks Nick for your confirmation of TG30. Subsequently I have found another photo of the same machine in Pegg's 'Transporter Vol2' on page 189, it was He111 H-20 W.Nr.700328 coded S3+IP at Schweinfurt in 1945.
Regards
Peter

S3+IP would be a problem because as far as I know TGr. 30 only had three Staffeln in the period from June 1944 until the end of the war.

Hi Ed,
That's not exactly what Nick said; just that after June 1944 TGr.30 had three Sfaffeln.
Same in Pegg's Transporter Vol 2 (I gave just a quick glance) it's clearly said page 159 where "the group had at that time- around 18 of November - between 30 to 35 machines divided between the three Staffeln" (sic)

As for the machine with "K" on rudder ...
Caption page 181 talking about 700628 Code S3+ML !!! and tail unit was a replacement.
...
As for me I can't go beyond this; unless there was two machines having a replacement tail with a "K" on it

regards,
Franck.

PS: Both machine at Schweinfurt, indeed; it should have been too easy without that de-tail (!)

Actual strengths at this period (source: ULTRA) were:

17.11.44 10 (3) aircraft 57 (15) crews
19.11.44 11 (3) aircraft 57 (16) crews

700628 was damaged twice in ground accidents, in November 1944 and January 1945.
