Re: FW 200, lost 23 July 1941.
Hallo Chris,
Many thanks for the clarifications. Using Google Earth that places the crash location approximately 130 miles West of Achill Head, County Mayo. A series of 4 photos concerning this loss appear in Volume 1 of the Spanish FW 200 softback publications by Juan Carlos Salgado. I should have asked in my first post if this Condor was from the Stab./I Gruppe, as per the coding 'F8+BB' ? Can this be confirmed ? Regards and thanks again. Martin.
