Both Winston Brent and Michael Schoeman says FT872 had an engine failure 2 March 1945 (not 2 Feb) Regarding the place, Brent says Perma and Schoeman Parma. Since Parma exists and Perma not I would say Parma is more likely than even your Perna (too south). Brent also adds FX617 FX646 FX738 FX836 On the other hand he has not in his list FT846 With regard to FX505 it is not listed by Brent (or Shoeman). No SAAF fighter loss on that day at all. Brent has (as you) FX505 listed as PI of SAAF 5070 Cheers Stig |

For your list: FT846 - Did not exist (Aircraft in reality is FT945) - Earliest Kittyhawk IV serial is FT849 FX505 - not 11SAAF - That aircraft went to the Union (earlier than the loss date) I have the following additional for you: FT922 FT935 FT938 FX535 FX537 FX563 FX568 FX571 FX694 FX723 FX735 FX795 Your first photo shows the aftermath of the accident to FT945 29th Mar 1945, your second photo shows FX836 after it nosed up at Iesi 19th Jan 45 Some of your histories are a little off as well (I assume that dates are in roman numerals), and there are additional codes for these aircraft Buz |

FT850 ND-M, 1945. Buz, thank You very much. I confirmed: FX723 as ND-D, from Colin Sinclair's logbook. FT922 Hit by anti-aircraft fire 6.1.1945, flown by Laubscher, sqn's OC. Still working on the others. Thanks again, Zoran |
