Re: eBay: Allied intrest

Hi all,

photo of "wellington " from 2.7.1940:
https://www.ebay.de/itm/2x-Foto-abge...kAAOSwzoJanZ-S

....but geodetic structure is not visible, same turret is on the Whitley and 1 was lost on night 01-02 of July 1940 - serial number N1461 GE-M from 58. squadron. As I know, this machine crashed in the target area - Kiel dockyard.
My question is, if the Kothausen is a part of Kiel.

Thanks

Faenor

Re: eBay: Allied intrest

Interesting view of a PR Spitfire, is this another of K9791 or another a/c ?

Re: eBay: Allied intrest

This is Spitfire K9791 lost 17.8.1940 LY-B it was part of a group of captured aircraft that were moved around various locations gradually falling apart until they were "recycled " I have a number of pics o this spitfire including some taken from the other side during the same exhition see pic.. I believe that this was the Vienna location others were Kracow Berlin Leipzig and others...
