Re: Help Identify Aircraft Tail Panel
Hi...
When I first saw this, and read that it was not believed to be a Bf109 or Fw190, and probably not a Bf110 either, I thought that it could perhaps have been an Me210... my reasoning for this was as follows:
Lastly, if we are uncertain as to the exact timeline, and bearing in mind the complexities and idiosyncracies of swastika application throughout the war, could we perhaps also consider it to be an Me410... ? |

Re: Help Identify Aircraft Tail Panel
I am no expert by any means, however has any thought been given to the Bombers? The 410 or 210 do not seem to fit either when looking at the tail lines? I wonder if it could be from a He 177? He111 or somthing of this sort?

Re: Help Identify Aircraft Tail Panel
Thanks for the heads up on the 210 and 410 but after having a look, I don't think it belongs either.

Re: Help Identify Aircraft Tail Panel
Hello Again,
I found this School link and it has history of the School and Caretakers name http://easyweb.easynet.co.uk/~the.sc...wshistory.html The School is it seems still in use. So perhaps contact can be made, and perhaps a small peice of the school's history can be returned to it. There is the post war conection with the Headmaster being ex RAF, and perhaps it was then that this artifact was framed and captioned although with the wrong year. Alex |

Re: Help Identify Aircraft Tail Panel
Thanks Alex but I wanted to identify it first, then check out if fits the aircraft in the story. There probably was a crash near the school but is this wreckage anything to do with it? maybe not.
