Re: He 111 Wk Nr 2149
David, just out of curiosity, do you have the fate of W.Nr 2145 that Chris mentions? I have W.Nr 2146 , 2150.
And Chris, did W.Nr 2145 serve with 3/KG55 with sister a/c 2149? any dates or squadron codes, aircrew attributed? Best Regs, Steve.

Re: He 111 Wk Nr 2149
Steve: I cannot confirm one way or another as you cannot see the codes. All I have are 2 photos from a 3/KG 55 crewman showing the Wk Nrs and the silhouette of a chap in a top hat and carrying an umbrella on the rudder (slightly different on both)

Re: He 111 Wk Nr 2149
Hi Chris,
Thanks for that, so W.Nr 2145 may have been attached to 3/KG55 at some time early 1940. Id be interested to learn its fate? Best Regs, Steve.

Re: He 111 Wk Nr 2149
Hi,
Regarding 2145......... G1+CL with 3./KG55 crashed Belgium 27 May 1940, repaired and later with III/KG55 suffered 40% damage due to enemy fire at Slipcze on 23 June 1941. WNrs 2121 to 2151 were a batch apparently allocated to KG55 as a block. Any corrections or amendments always welcome! Regards David

Re: He 111 Wk Nr 2149
Interesting what you say about 27 May 40. I have a photo of G1+CL and the BF involved on 27 May 40 is a friend of mine. True it did crash-land 20 kms west of Ypres at 1145 hrs but according to the BF, the aircraft was pretty well alight when it crash-landed (4 of the crew were burned in the process). Where did you get the info that 2145 was CL and that it was repaired?
