Trying to track two Bf109E W.Nr. from Spring, 1940
Hello,
I'm trying to determine if either of the following two W.Nr.'s entered the system for Luftwaffe repairs and the relevant dates and places. Can anyone help? W.Nr. 1950, Bf-109E-3, Yellow 1 of 3./JG 51 W.Nr. 2657, Bf-109E-1, Yellow 10 of 3./JG 51 I know that some of you have records that show when and where various aircraft were received for repairs after damage, and I'm hoping that one of these data bases will help pinpoint the approximate dates for the crash-landings of these planes sometime during the spring of 1940. Thanx, |

Re: Trying to track two Bf109E W.Nr. from Spring, 1940
Hi Larry,
Having checked my files i can only confirm that W.Nr 1950 served with 3/JG51 sept to oct 1939. Cant trace anything after this period, and would welcome any further info! W.Nr 2657 i have nothing for its earlier service, and again would welcome any info or your original source. I can only confirm Christians information regarding its accident on 7.7.41 whilst on the strength of I/JG2, with 45% damage. Any further information from anybody else please? perhaps Jim P ? Regards, Steve. |
