Re: News from Greece
Hello Byron,
Well, you are right that there was not Fl Kommandatur at Mycenae.It was during the invasion that the Raf probably used a small field for operation.The reason for that was that there was no cover for the aircraft at Argos airfield.The whole thing lasted just about a week.Thats only what i know. By the way ,is any photo existing showing Agrinion airfield? regards, Aviator |

Re: News from Greece
Hi Byron,
Thanks, I'd already got the details but don't worry about the WNr/codes difference. They are different aircraft which used the same codes but at different times. The sortie to the Suez Canal on the 8 May 1941 was a bad one for KG26 as at least four He111s were lost :- 3850 1H+AP, 3870 1H+BC, 3885 1H+FN, 3887 1H+FP Regards, David |
