Re: 21/4/45 Banff Wing
Hi Mark
Well it is still late winter to day in this country...... However I look forward to the summer season when I am going to climb some mountains to look fore some Lufttwaffre crash site in the South-Norway. By the way I am only an amateur but look at these guys http://home.no.net/kjellsor/ Knut |

Re: 21/4/45 Banff Wing
Thanks Knut:
Neat site - their mossie is listed incorrectly though. Should be W4054, not W4050. W4050 is the prototype, still cozily hangared at Salisbury Hall, near St. Albans! Cheers, Mark |

Re: 21/4/45 Banff Wing
No worries, Kjell.
W4050 is about the only Mossie about whose whereabouts I'm 100% certain! Cheers, Mark |

I have just read "Achtung-Torpedos Los!" by Rudi Schmidt on the incident and there is an error in the crew listing of Langendorf. Aircraft Ju 88 A-17 (F) Uffz. Langendorf, Kurt [vm.] (B) Uffz. Schmädicke, Stephan [vm.] (Bf) Ogfr. Holländer, Hans [vm.] (Bs) Fw. Jorden, Werner [vm.] The Bordschützen was actually Fw. Arno Oskar Jordan, however the Fw. abbreviation must have confused someone somewhere as his rank is recorded as Feuerwerker on the Volksbund site, a rank he never was as he was indeed a Feldwebel.....he remains lost at sea and I did not see him in the Vemisstenbildliste. /Ian |

Hi Jim,
Currently rewriting, reworking into a more readable book which will be under a new title too - being sandwiched between other work. Kind regards Andy Bird |
